weak tone and volume on Jazz

Sign in to disble this ad
I have a real 66 Jazz strung with TI's and with Lindys in it. The tone is fine at low volume but in a playing situation the tone is hollow and weak. I find myself really digging in way too hard. I don't have this issue with my Precision that has Nords on it. I have a MIM also that has a OLD (25 years old)set of EMG Selects on it that sounds way better.Any ideas?

Is it weak with both PUPs on only?
Does it sound better when soloing each pickup?

I'll look into that right now.
Thanks. That makes sense.
