Getting that noise from the guitar where when you touch the strings it stops, but also discovered that it only does it when the guitarist is holding the guitar in the playing position, i.e. the pickup is facing out away from the guitarist. Noticed that when we turn the guitar around so that the back is facing out, the noise stops. We're in a residential finished basement.

How can I add some pickup notes right before my entire track starts?

Thanks in advance.

Curious whether anyone has experience with this pickup/preamp combo. I spoke with the Breedlove tech dept, and they told me it is an under saddle piezo film (not crystals). They said it gives a much better linear response compared with older style pickups.

Hi,

Hi!

I have a problem that I could not resolve during a long period of time.

I have 2 Shure KSM 109 mics that are connected to M-audio DMP3 preamp.
Preamp is connected to PC sound card.

I am not new to pickup wiring, nor am I new to modding, which is why I am puzzled by this. I've had some Seymour Duncan pickups laying unused in the bottom of my drawer for the last year or so and tonight I put them into my guitar once again. The bridge pickup sounds bangin, but the neck pickup sounds quiet and a tad phasey.

my local music store had one of these in stock

anyone have any experience with one?

I'm doing a setup on a friend's guitar and two of his three pickups don't have any sound, the bridge is the only one that works. I opened it up and the inside looks like somebody tampered with it. They don't even look soldered. I can solder but is there a schematic that I can follow?

so I'm lookin at getting a matched pair of oktavas http://www.sound-room.com/inc/sdetail/489

My recording engineer wants me to up-grade my single coil pickups on my Fender Jazz Bass to eliminate the hum.
In reserching the problem, I've found that these two stock single coil pickups should cancel the hum themselves by design.
How do I check the polarity of these pickups to see if they are installed correctly?
Are there any other tips for eliminating the hum?
