I can understand a vintage, non-potted pickup that gets years of sweat on it that ruins the coils, but a relatively new, wax potted, COVERED pickup?

Very Strange.
With a pickup, it can be only one thing: bad connection somewhere. In my case, the coil winding snapped somewhere inside. At the time, there wasn't anybody re-winding 'em, so it was pretty much replace it, or go without.
