MemphoBuckeye Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 My JTV59 neck pickup stopped working. Bridge pickup is ok, as is the variax modeling. Nothing particular caused it that I am aware of - some sweaty gigs but nothing outrageous. Anything I could easily check/try before going through the hassle of shipping it to line6, or traveling 2.5 hours to a service center?

PierM Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 You could check solderings in the switch that select the pickups. Also check the same switch isn't dirty or malfunctioning (happened to me once, and was missing middle position). Other than that I wouldn't mess with the main PCB.

psarkissian Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 It's either intermittent solder on the 3-way switch or an open coil on the pick-up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilrahi Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 Same to what PierM said, I actually had my neck pickup not function last night. The Variax functionality was fine - even with the switch. But if I switched to the natural pickups the neck was a no go. Middle (combined) and bridge worked fine. I worked at it for about twenty minutes. I noticed if I put it to middile, played, and then flipped to neck only it would work - did that enough and then all functionality returned. Fluke? Dumb luck? Doomed to have it go out again in five days? No idea, but it fixed it for me last night and I thought I'd pass it on. Good luck, and may the guitar gods have mercy on our souls.

psarkissian Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 Sounds like intermittent connection on the switch assembly. Have a Line 6 authorized service tech deal with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
