Volume loss from bridge pickup


Espresso

i've recently bought a brand new yamaha AES1500 (a semi-hollow archtop). Occasionally when I switch to the bridge pickup there is no sound coming through the amp.After I switch to middle position and back to bridge a couple times ,the sound comes back!

Any ideas as to what's causing it and how i can fix it?

Thanks

Most likely it's dirt in the switch contacts. If you can get to it, spray some electronics contact cleaner on the switch contacts.

 

The only other thing it could be is a loose wire at the switch or a bad solder joint (unlikely).
