Help needed - humbuckers prob

[iwantdigimon]

Hello all !

seems to have some problems with my Burny SG.

There seemed to be a marked decrease in volume when i switch to the neck pickup. The bridge is loudest and most articulate, and the vol decreases from middle to neck. I had a Epi casino and it seems to be the other way round - neck loudest, subtle volume drop only in the bridge.

could it be a cable problem or something? First time using hums - always been a sc person

thanks!

It might be the height of the pickup (gap between the string and the pickup). This should be about the same for both bridge and neck. Try adjusting the height with a screwdriver and see what happens.

cheers.

or maybe the output of the pickups..

probably the height - thanks, come to think of it, the bridge pup looks pretty high up

First, back to basic, check your volume pot.

Ensure they are well 'calibrated'

Second, check your pickup height.

Third, Cry for help!
