    Bridge pickup gets quiet and tinny when neck pickup is connected

    No I said wiring the bridge pickup to the jack sounded fine and wiring both to the jack the neck sounded fine and the bridge sounded thin. Obviously it’s not anyone’s fault, but it is a quirk of forums and the internet in general to invent a problem you do know how to give a response to rather...

    Bridge pickup gets quiet and tinny when neck pickup is connected

    I've learned a lot of stuff over the years at Talkbass. This was not one of those times. Its sort of like when your internet doesn't work, and you've tried everything and you know the problem is on their end, and the first thing they do when you call them is tell you to restart your modem...

    Bridge pickup gets quiet and tinny when neck pickup is connected

    ok, I took the pickups out of the bass and connected them directly to cable with alligator clips. Both normal, and backwards, and with the neck normal and the bridge backwards. Its exactly the same every time. The bridge pickup sounds normal until the neck is connected, then the bridge pickup...

    Bridge pickup gets quiet and tinny when neck pickup is connected

    I mean, that’s why I have simplified everything. There really is no need for diagrams or pictures. When the hot from the bridge pickup is connected to the output jack, and the jack ground, bridge ground, bridge pickup ground, and neck pickup ground is connected to each other, the bridge pickup...

    with both pickups wired in series straight to the jack, the bridge pickup sounds fine.

    Bridge pickup gets quiet and tinny when neck pickup is connected

    Ok, I just reversed the leads from the bridge pickup just to make sure. Same thing, bridge sounds full when its connected, connect the neck pickup and the bridge gets tinny. Neck pickup sounds full either way.

    Bridge pickup gets quiet and tinny when neck pickup is connected

    New bass build, will probably post about it after I get this figured out: Played a gig friday with it, went fine, played a gig saturday, lost signal, or at least got really quiet., sunday everything seemed fine. I don't know what happened. I put a giant volume knob on it, might have just...

    Last I talked to him he's still waiting for it to come together eventually. As skeptical as I was then I'd be even more skeptical now.
