Bartolini pbf pickups no dc resistance reading/ no customer support

[David King]

I have half a dozen phone numbers in my address book though most are abandoned by this time. The fax seems reasonable, be concise with a polite, straightforward question and I bet you get an answer. -Go on a rambling rampage about how useless their documentation is and I bet you don't.

Hi Joe

Thanks for the tip, i´ll give that a crack with my extech if thats the meter you are referring to. I don't think it´s a broken wire because I have checked 2 sets of pups and I think I have more chance of winning the lottery than having 4 ´duff pups, however stranger things happen at sea !!

I do mean the Extech LCR Meter.

Hi David

I did wire up 2 of the pups straight to a jack socket and they seemed to work ok when tapped with a socket spanner loud clonk and no hum and i´ll be trying Joe gwinns suggestion in a couple of days when i´m back at the other workshop.

Cheers

Consider building yourself a test fixture so you can avoid that whole time wasting scenario you mentioned, and not have to rely on a meter and a spanner for pickup testing.

Thanks Joe

The extech did the trick, i´ll have to file it in the brain bank. In all honesty I have not really fitted many bartolini guitar pups over the years but I did like their bass pickups.

These are fairly new pickups designed in conjunction with someone else, who's name I don't recall. They have been getting very good reviews. My first Hi-A pickup from 1977 was intended for guitar or bass. Sounded very nice in my Rickenbacker bass.
