Hello, I’m going to put back my original neck pickup in my SG. I never notised how it was oriented before I took it out. Does it matter how it is oriented now when I will put it back again? Thanks

MascisMan, I'm very happy with my EB-BSx. As you probably alreday read I switch via a volume-DPDT pot between serial and coil tappad mode. In full serial it's much punchier than the original Epi mudbucker and in coil tapped it's more defined, a bit like the Darkstar. Often Darkstars are mounted...

Thanks.

Update. Rewired the pickup today to switch between humbucker in serie and coil-tap, i.e. switching between EB-0 and EB-BS. Huge difference, one can wonder why I even thought of having them in parallell. Have a question to one who might know better. There is a bare wire which I have soldered to...

I know the term coil-tap and coil-split can be confusing and misused and maybe I've got it wrong, but this is what Curtis answered me when I asked him about EB-BSx: The EB-BSx as is a 2 coil humbucker it replaced the EB-BS which was a single coil. The EB-BSx is the best most versatile pickup...

Read through ctmullins link, great info there. However, in the article they refer to wiring a coil-splitted humbucker and to toggle between both coils in series and coils splitted. My attempt and the wiring I attached in the first post is to toggle between a coil-tapped humbucker (series) and a...

Thanks for your reply and your link. Read a lot of your posts regarding those pickups, very helpful. Well, it certainly look less complicated in the link you posted. Great, I will review this. Do you have any preferences how to connect the tone cap, between volume and tone or only on tone to...

It is indeed. It's wired so the dpdt-switch shall toggle between series and humbucker (parallell)

Good point.

Thanks Snaxter! I don't know if detailed photos will make it more clear since the attached file is exactly how it is wired and soldered. The control cavity is quite small and with a CTS DPDT push-pull pot in there it's well packed together. Was there something in particular you were thinking of...

First post here in this forum. Have been a long time talkbass reader, it's a great source for information. I bought a Curtis Novak EB-BSx pickup for my Epi EB-0 which I installed last weekend. I’m not so skilled in electronics and soldering so our guitarist helped me out. I have a DPDT...
