Intermittent signal - piezos in Fly
« on: November 30, 2009, 05:03:20 PM »
Bought a Parker Fly Mojo second hand a few weeks ago, and the piezos in the bridge have stopped functioning properly...

Sometimes there's no output at all, sometimes it's distorted, and sometimes it's absolutely 100% fine. Fresh battery too. I gather that it's some kind of loose connection or something, but then again I know sweet fuck all about piezos, aside from the fact that they are fragile and sensitive and possibly made of crystal.

Reckon this is a quick solder job or are the pickups fucked?

Impossible to diagnose over the net mate :( You'll need to bring it in. Usually "normal" pickups work, or they dont. Seen this kind of thing before with piezos, they are tempermental at the best of times, but managed to fix them. Every time its been a different problem causing it though.
