Good morning,
I'm looking at purchasing a new pickup for my bass that has series/parallel/coil split options. It has an onboard pre-amp. I can't see the top of the IC chip on it to tell what type it is, so I don't know if it has a differential amplifier (the main part of what makes an amplifier circuit reduce noise) in there or not.
Does anyone know off hand if most pre-amps get rid of 60 cycle hum? If not, I'll just go with series/parallel, because the tonal differences between parallel and split are not worth it to me if it's going to be noisy.
