    I achieved what I needed to. I took advice and wired the pickup straight to the output jack and PERFECT!!! It had the punch and treble I was missing. I soldered in a 250k volume pot and left the tone out of the circuit altogether. Problem solved. Thank you for all the help!! This thing is a...

    Thank you everyone for all the comments! I’m going to try 4 things 1, wire the pickup straight to the jack and see if it makes a difference. 2, go back to active and put the emg BTC in the tone position (I did this before and sounded great) but this time route out a battery box in the back cuz...

    I’m probably the most impolite players on and off stage, lol. I’m a Finger metal/hard rock player. I love to beat the snot out of my strings.

    Quick question, I have a 90’s P bass. No matter what strings, pickups and pots I put in this thing it just sounds “dull”. For pickups I have put in Duncan SPB 3 (current), spb4, dimarzio model p, emg p, emg px, geezer p. And they all sound like poop. I put all those pickups in other basses and...
