Last weekend I was gigging with my new Bulldog (which I just love) and when I switched up to select the neck pup, I didn't get any sound. I had to finish the rest of the night with just the bridge pup.

The next day I plugged her in and all was fine. It worked for a while and then stopped again. It's now working but I'm wondering if someone has experienced this before. Seems like an intermittent problem.

Thanks!

that stinks. i had the exact thing happen to me a month or so ago. i have seen those switches do that if they get a little debris in them. if it happens again, give the switch 10 seconds of rapid fire back and forthing. if that doesn't do it, spraying with d oxit 5 is the next thing. if that doesn't do it, we could have a bad pickup but they usually don't go back and forth.
mine has been fine ever since the first failure.

It happened to my Crowdster Plus one night, and then it stopped and never again. Yes, Tom, I think it was probably some little piece of something. Until it happens again, I'm not going to worry.

It helps, I suspect, if you play the guitar a lot... so do that. ;)

Thanks for the advice Tom! I sprayed some Deoxit into the switch and it seems fine now. Hopefully that did the trick!
