I installed a p rails + triple shot. I'm worried about it's performance. the pickup is upside down: p90 facing the neck and the rail is facing the bridge.
series mode sounds huge and is noticeably warmer than any other sound.
the rail side sounds a bit thinner but is just as loud
parallel sounds just as loud (volume) but isnt as "hot"
the P-90 side is quiet. the volume I'm getting out of it is less than any other position.
If i select one side, say, just the rail side, and I tap the p 90 pole pieces with a steel ruler, you can hear the thump through the amp and vice versa: having the p 90 on and tapping the rail also produces a thump. it's not loud, but it's there.
i have a jazzmaster single coil in the neck. when I use the rail and have my pickup selector in the middle, it's your average noise free quacky middle position on a single coil equipped guitar.the middle position with the p 90 is not noiseless (i dont know if its supposed to be).
normal?
