I wired my EMG HZ's parallel, and liking it!

I re-wired the HZ's to parallel mode in one of my Schecters last night, and really like the results. I have a couple Schecters. One with SGD ND3's. and the other stock. It's been love/hate with the HZ's. They have certain (good) qualities, but also some not so good (for me anyway). I think overall the tone is pretty good but they always seemd to feel the low, and low-mids were a bit muddy. Well, wiring them in parallel really gave the bass a very glassy, and transparent sound. You shouldn't necessarily expect to keep your same EQ settings, it does thin out the tone a bit, but no matter how I fiddled with the EQ, it sounded natural, and transparent. It's a twenty minute project thats easily reversed, and you may just like it.
