Bad Pickups???

[CCtop]

Saw your response after posting. Glad you got it fixed!

How do you like the sound now?

It's a monster!

I would if they weren’t currently shut down...

I'm sure Rob Turner is still answering emails from the contact page on the emgpickups.com web site.

@CCtop, you may want to consider adding "SOLVED" to your thread title, to try and stave off the oncoming wave of helpful responses from people who haven't yet read the entire thread and discovered that you've remedied the issue....

Well I guess there must be a backlog because I'm still waiting for a response from almost 2 weeks ago.

Single coil neck pickups.

OK thanks


I know a lot of EMG are lower output designed to be run through a preamp. The lower output keeps them from distorting.

"usual" EMGs are very very very low output because they have a much smaller number of windings, and they have a preamp to boost the signal incorporated into the pickup casing: they only really work when powered, their output is too low without a battery. Those are what people generally called 'active pickups' proper, although in reality they're much the same design as a standard passive pickup .

Good idea, but how do I do it?!
