So yeah my old faithful has started to play up on just the G string. If I jiggle it it will work for a while and then fail again.

Has anyone had this problem and fixed it?

I am wondering if its failing and I should just get a new one fitted?

Thoughts appreciated

A technician can inspect GK preamp  and inspect /test the 8 pin PU header crimp connections

But 80% of time it's due to a faulty GK13 cable or oxidized pins on the connectors

Thanks for the response.

I am pretty sure it's the actual pickup. I have tried several cables and it does short term fix if I physically wiggle the actual pickup.

So I replace the hex pickup part only and it works lovely again.
