Cross posting? I did, too!
And it's double sad if something like that happens to someone who earns his living with his hands!

Are you 100% sure that this is a PAIR of SC pickups? One of them is reversed wound with oposite poling? Otherwise there is no humbucking effect and series mode might make the problem "more hearable" than parallel mode?

The more impedance/resistance is, the higher the noise???
The volume pot not only puts hot to ground but also adds series resistance to the impedance of the pickup (and series PU wiring has more impedance than parallel) ...

@ David: Gute Besserung!
I think some native (jewish?) English speaking Americans also say: Gute Gesundheit!
Or in English: Get well soon!

They are two humbuckers. Fully shielded.

My name is German, but not I'm not Jewish. I'm mostly Italian!

Yes, in the States we say gesundheit when people sneeze!

Hi David,

I don't care about people's religion or where their origin is. During the last 125 years my ancestors came from Germany, France, Poland and Russia.
"Jewish" only because I first heard the expression in the film "Mary & Max" - and (the jewish origin autist) said it not after sneezing (but he said "Gute Gesundheit") ...

Pickup Problem:
With two humbuckers this problem is more than strange ...
If it was with a computer I would say: The problem sits in front of the monitor ...

I am also no friend of "star wiring". Especially after I saw a broadcaster that mobil antennas were like a star until they found an even better method. Many German WWII tanks also had star antennas ...

Hard to tell where the problem is without having the bass in front of you. Maybe a little more "planed chaos" might help?

Sorry to see your hand was hurt Dave. My original question still stands when's the pickup going to ship?

Ed

I'm working on getting yours and the other orders that were planned on going out last week, out this week. Next couple of days should do it.

Dave,

Thanks for the update.

Hi Dave,

Will my two M5s be included in the next batch to go out? (Replacement for 11141 and return of 10080).

Thanks,
Anthony

And I sent e-mails last week trying to touch base to find out any new information, but haven't been able to get a reply yet. David if you check this forum, can you please get back with me? Customer name Ryan N. Thanks.

I've been sick, so I'm running behind on this batch.

Hey David,

I haven't been able to get a response to the e-mails I sent you last week. Also, the USPS tracking shows that nothing has been shipped yet. Is everything ok?

[Calexia13]

I was gonna ship your pickups, but then I got high!

[Lucy Monostone]

I'm still waiting on a set I ordered in June last year :/

That said however I empathize with the difficulties inherent to running your own small business and complications due to unforeseen events. It's life, **** happens.

Hope your hand is healing up David!

[Calexia13]

Trials and tribulations of owning a small business aside, it's not the waiting I mind so much, it's the B.S. and miscommunication. I think that is what bothers everyone who hasn't gotten their pickups the most. If I could have my money back and be done with this "transaction" I would, but I guess David doesn't have the money.

I don't have a dog in this race, but I think it's misleading that his website still says "Current lead time on new orders is about 6-8 weeks. I'm working on getting orders processed faster."

I've increased it, but the reason being is I'm working on new orders concurrently with old orders, which are obviously past that lead time.

This will help prevent more backlog.

Are you talking about yourself here?

[Calexia13]

So what's the new news with the pickups that were going out last week David?

Ed

I'm pretty sure that's a pop culture reference, and not a personal comment. Some guy called Afroman. I had to Google it myself.
