I just installed a P-Rails Hot in a Triple-Shot mounting ring in the bridge of my LP. The P-90 sounds nice and bright yet full. The Rail sounds very similar, just slightly darker and not quite as loud. In humbucker-parallel mode it sounds about the same as the P-90 but maybe just a bit more open sounding. I'm describing almost imperceptible differences here, these three options sound almost identical. When I switch to hum-series, it sounds very dark and bassy, the highs are gone, it is muddy, and it is noticably louder. Of couse you'd expect it to be a bit darker and louder in series, but this is WAY darker, like turning the tone control all the way down.
I'm not an amateur at wiring and soldering and I've check all that and redid it three times so I know it's correct.
For all practical purposes it really only has two distinct sounds...P-90 and mud. I wanted SOOOO much like this pup, but it's only useful to me as a P-90.
What's up? Anyone have a similar experience?
I've tried adjusting the pup height and adjusting the philister screws and have gotten it to the best that I can hear, but still it seems it's only a 2 trick pony...beautiful P-90 and mud.
This can't be right. I've read so many good reviews about the P-Rail sounds. I've rewired it three times, tried 2 different Triple Shots and tried a regular (not hot) P-Rails. All the same.
It's almost as if the Rail side doesn't exist except when I kick it in series mode. But then, where did all the treble go?!
