    Blackout N in bridge position?

    I have tried to find as much as possible about this before asking. That being said, I picked up a JS32 Dinky for my upcoming vacation to Afghanistan, and have a set of BO's not being used. I have read bits and pieces about people swapping the Neck and Bridge around. Does it make it better?

    Blackout wiring help

    So I just swapped my EMG's for BO's. And from what I have read they were a direct swap. Now I am getting a ambient noise from the bridge. I have been told now the bridge needs grounding, where as EMG's dont. If I reverse wire the pickup switch to be opposite will this fix it? I put them in...
