I'm putting new pickups in my Performance, and selling what was in there... a chap in Colchester bought the JB off me last week for £40, but has tested it and one of the coils isn't working.
I've looked at rewind prices online and they're around £50... with the cost of the pickup, someone would be spending about the same as getting a new JB... so my pickup is really not worth selling now.
What would you do with it? I have no need for it, but it seems a shame to throw it away...
Too much gain... is just about enough \m/

Or you could always put it up for sale at a nominal amount for a tinkerer to have a go at fixing it or use it for spares.
If you want to be adventurous they don’t even have to be the same type of humbucker... this is how one of the most famous DIY pickups was made - George Lynch’s original which the Duncan Screamin’ Demon is based on was a Gibson pickup with one DiMarzio coil. (Or possibly the other way round, I forget which!)

Seriously, I have a broken MIM Fender Jazz Bass pickup that wasn’t worth fixing on my fridge. Very powerful. £30 to rewind something like a JB sounds worth doing though.
SD user group forum member, BachToRock, wanted to combine some of the characteristics of the SH-1 '59 and SH-5 Custom pickups. He put one coil from each model on the same baseplate. Result, a great humbucker for HSS Superstrats. Coil splitting to the higher output coil makes for a better balance with a traditional 6k middle position single coil.
