hi,
I 'm facing a problem on my new EMG pickups.
I have connected all the electronics like i think it's supposed to be and no sound at all from one pickup and the other is working fine...
i have tried to switch the wire upside down and nothing..
HELP!!
 
Can you attach a photo of how they're hooked up?

Is that the PU you have? Your wiring is completely different than what is in the manual in the link.

Your connector on tone control to the output jack needs to be flipped over.
Your connector on the volume control from the pickup needs to be flipped over and moved to the two open pins.
(Based on the pic)


hi, i've did what you told..but no sound on the pickup and i it makes a hum when touching the knobs.. i can hear a plock from the pickup to the amp when i hit the pickup with a screwdriver , but no sound from strings..
