Trying hard to get the pickup loose from the cover, (soldered on), with a POS solder iron I had borrowed from a friend.
Now, after I put silicone between the pickup and metal cover, the tone is "darker", the highs are rounder, and the "ding-ding-ding" i got from hitting the low E- is gone.
But, I also feel I got less output (and gain).
Didn't measure the pickup before, and/or after the "surgery".
Maybe the POS soldering iron made the coil so hot, some of the windings melted together/shorted? :o
....anyways, I'm stuck with this PU for so long.,
Going to order a GFS /or original Epi, from Ebay)... to replace the Neck PU, that I tore the soldering iron into the coil on, by accident :/
