adhok Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 hey--I took my g-400 and put in a gibson pickup in the neck that I've had lying around, and now, each pickup individually works fine, but when both pickups are on, and turned up, the sound gets really thin sounding. If you roll off either volume, it fattens up. Did I somehow wire them out of phase, or something weird? It's not a bad sound, and I'm interested to experiment with it at higher volumes, in playing situations. But it's defintely not the same as it was. any ideas???? thanks!

animalfarm Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Can you post what wiring diagram you used? And was the gibby pup 2 wire or 4 wire? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you're describing is treble rolloff and is a perfectly natural occurance in electric guitars. If you don't care for the effect, look into installing a "treble bleed".
