Hello guys...
Just got a set of used dimarzio Model Js...
I think I've been scammed...
My bass had previously a set of EMGs Js.
Changes the pots back to the stock ones, did everything according to schematics I found on the net and the Dimarzio website and ATM the status quo is:
Bridge pickup sounds GREAT when tone is all the way to bassy...
when turning the tone pot even a little bit clockwise, very audible hum appears when not touching the bass...
Neck Pickup does not produce any sound whatsoever.
When all the pots are open, if I touch the neck pot with a coin or something I get hum but not the charactistic thump of a working pickup...
WHen I touch the bridge on on the bottom 4poles i get thump but when I touch tem on the upper 4 poles I get thump and HUM.
I do not have a lot of experience in instrument wiring but I do have some on electronics...
Hope someone could help
Thanks a lot guys...
PS: I did earth the bridge to the tone-pot and both pickups to their respective pot.
CHeers!
