are there springs below our pickups

[redname]

whenever i try to push the pickups, they bounce back, this i assume is caused by springs.

can these springs be replaced? how much is it to replace? i find tht the part nearer my low E strings seems to haven't reach the full extend as there's lots of space left for the screw.

this is causing my treble strings to be louder than the bass strings

i think it's foam, not spring beneath.

oh ok, so are they replaceable?

You are right, there are springs below our pickups.

 

[CaboWabo]

only springs i know are the ones that helps hold your pickups

either spring or foam, both are replaceable. what i do is fold a piece of paper and slide it in or cut a sponge.

thanks guys.

think i'll head down to a guitar shop later to get them replaced, need to get my input jack replaced too.

cldn't get them replaced caused the guitar tech said the screws are rounded already, will need to use force, which i dnt want cause this bass got sentimental value to me.

screws should be easy to get leh.. why not force it out and replace with a new shinny one to restore your guitar
screws are either self-tapping or machine screw ( inches or SI )... so theres really only 3 types to choose from..
