Hey Tony. Sorry, I didn't see this post. Not sure why I didn't get a notification, but there you go.

I think you might have emailed me about this problem? I recall having a conversation about creaking coming from the amp when moving the instrument, but I can't remember if we solved it or not.

Sorry have just realised that you replied, apparently the pick up has gone microphonic I am in the process on obtaining a replacement from Veijo  Rautia , I have a SB elite 1 (1983) passive only and that is going the same way (ie microphonic) my batwing 1980 with Kent Armstrong pick up put in around 2005 is fine 

thanks 

Tony

I was wondering if You help with issues I have with one of my 2 sb1000’s , I’ve got one from 1980 (batwing headstock and have no problems with it although it has a replacement pickup from Kent Armstrong uk about 15 years ago, my other from 1984 has all original circuitry and although plays and sounds fine when I am not playing and say mute the strings with my left hand and turn from side to side I get a creaking sound coming out of amp . I think it must be a circuitry issue ps battery’s are fine, any advice appreciated ,even does it in passive mode , it maybe is the sound of the strap rubbing on the guitar body and the sound being picked up by the pick up
Thanks
