Dropped my Duncan Humbucker and bent a leg, long nose pliers to straighten and the leg broke off, bastarding cockweasel!
Fixable?

    Obtaining a genuine SD baseplate through official channels could prove frustratingly slow.

    I did think about JB weld metal glue stuff, might try that andin the meantime try for a replacement baseplate...unless someone has a knackered pickup from which I could liberate the plate?.....

    You could solder it back together as long as you don't overheat the pickup

    No problem, that's why I keep all this sort of old junk :).
