MY 5 STRING PICKUP DIFFERENCES

Sign in to disble this ad
i dont know if this is a problem butt i want to ask .on my richfield 5 string (somewhat older) when both pickups are turned on i have half as little volume as just one. meaning if i use just the front or back its twice as loud. where as my esp bass is just the opposite, both pickups on its louder than just one pickup. i know loudness should not be a way to judge quality of sound .any setting sounds good im wondering now if the previous owner instelled them backwards or something . I DONT KNOW.thanks

Probably they are wired out of phase. Have a pro check it out
