Microphonic Pickup Fix?
Well, the neck blaze in my pwh has gone microphonic, just squeals as soon as it's flicked on, and throughout playing, and I think the one on the other UV is going as well. Problem is, i quite like the sound of them, and don't really want to buy new ones...

So how easy is it to wax pot a pickup (or whatever it's called)? How much would it set me back (ie, is it feasable to do, or is it just going to cost slightly less than gewtting someone who knows what they're doing to do it for me? Or would I have to send it off to someone?

The Chaos has come:

This should help. it looks relatively simple.


Glory and praise to Thee, Satan, on high,
Where Thou didst reign, in Hell where Thou dost lie,
Vanquished, silent, dreaming eternally.
Grant that my soul some day rest close to Thee
Under the Tree of Knowledge which shall spread
Its branches like a Temple overhead.

I take it the pickup doesn't need to be deassembled?

I can be the "responsible" adult and supervise if you like I also have a spare stock Ibanez pickup you can practice on before dunking the Blaze's.
