    Aguilar AG4M Music Man pickup

    Hi, Does Aguilar AG4M Music man pickup have grounded polepieces. Mine buzz if I touch polepieces when not touching strings or any metal part. Is this just how they are made normally? They are made in vintage specs so is buzzing common with vintage Stingrays.

    Hi, May be a stupid question, but here we go. I’m using a metal ruler to measure pickup height. From polepiece to string. Could that harm pickup anyway? For example If the ruler will magnetize from touching pole piece?

    Hi, Any opinions / reviews about these? Currently looking for ballsy, great slap sound a la Louis Johnson. I have 2002 3EQ Stingray. Another question: Delano MM-pickup seems to have 4 wire connections. How do you wire them in traditional, parallel style?

    BH800 XLR out

    Hi, Have been really happy with my BH800. I noticed that XLR out level is much lower with POST selected than with PRE selected. Is that normal thing? I keep my EQ in 12 o'clock position, with a slight bass boost.
