EMG pickup distortion

Sign in to disble this ad
Hey all,

I'm having problems with my pickup replacements in my warwick thumb. I replaced the MEC J pickups with The stock EMG Js. They have been in my bass for about 8 months, and i'm having problems with battery drain; Something must be grounding out. That could be the source of distortion in the pickup, but i'm clueless as to why i'm getting lots of audible distortion while i'm playing. The distortion from the pickups has just recently started. Could it be a solder connetion i made? Should i de-solder everything and just try it again? I have a gig thursday and i would like to have this problem dealt with.

Thanks in advance,
Rene
