Genisis pickup
Anyone out there have a good spare bridge pup for a Genisis II bass? Looks like maybe the Pantera pup is the same. I'm really wanting to keep this thing original, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Genisis pickup
Are you sure it is completely goosed? Maybe it needs a hookup wire resoldered at the coil.

I'm looking at the pup w/ a 10x magnafying glass right now to see if I can find the outer end wire of the coil wind, hoax. Fortunately, I haven't lost the inner wind wire yet........black on one coil was broken off and I lost the copper in the process of removing the cover tape.

Re: Genisis pickup
If you find the end, just unwind it enough to allow sufficient spare wire to resolder to hook up.
It is a bit hit and miss and I usually manage to save about 50% of pick ups in this way.
Good luck

Re: Genisis pickup
I think I may have to get a jewelers loupe to find the end, the eyes aren't as good as they used to be....lol. Hopefully I can find it, resolder, and save the pickup. Mrs. contrahell won't be too happy about me buying another bass, even if it is for parts!

Re: Genisis pickup
Too bad you aren't looking for a Genesis 6-string pup. Plenty of folks should have those available to judge by the trashing they get around here.
Actually, I have at least 3 extra of those myself, IIRC...

Re: Genisis pickup
Long story short, the one coil is smoked. Guess I try my hand at pup winding now......
Picked this Genisis up cheap, the neck is awesome on this thing! (True with all of the Mats stuff from the 70-80's that I've played)
I'll post some pix of my Matsumoku basses when I get more time.

Re: Genisis pickup
Hey Contra
Another fix I have used many a time is just to change the coil over. I do it pretty regularly with MMK 45's and Dimarzios and sometimes create Frankenstein mixes which work very well.

Re: Genisis pickup
Apart from rewinding your bass pup, (which is a very common fault on those bass pups, they rot at the solder end usually the inner).
Here's a simple fix.
