Re: howto check if lil'59 install is OK
I didn't know it as an official test, but yes, I did it . Only way to test if there is signal coming from it while your strings are slacked .
But it's connected OK, it measures OK, there's no hum. So that all seems fine. But I can check if there is some sort of signal coming from my middle pickup even when the 5-way is all the way in the bridge position. I'll check that when I get home.
If both coils wouldn't be working, it wouldn't 'buck the hum' as good as it does.
Haven't tried this yet as good as I should. Good point, will play around with it on some extreme low and high heights and see how it affects it.
The thing is. 'Distant hollow'-ish sound means for me instantly that there is something that's slightly out of phase if I'm mixing. So I'm afraid that the middle pickup (or neck?) is still somehow affecting the signal?. I'll tap-test it to see what's happening, but it might just be pickup height, or it might just be the sound of the lil'59 .
