Thrash it up
New member
Hello,
Here 's my problem:
I've got 2 similar guitars set with active p-u. Both have alder body, mapple neck and ebony fretboards. Both were sold with EMG p-u but after trying the AHB-1 blackouts in those 2, I decide to keep them instead of EMGs.
The problem is one of those 2 tends to be too bright (where the other one is a very dark sounding guitar). I am seriously thinking of swapping the blackouts for passives to get a warmer and a less "harsh sound" Something with high output, considering I play mostly old school metal and solos (2 humbuckers).
Thus I have to ask one more question about it: For some unknown reasons, the guitar has been built with a small place for p-u. So the bridge one, even set the lowest way possible, is still quite close to the strings (not to close, but it wouldn't work if set higher). Do trembuckers need a deeper gap in the guitar than a blackout?
thanks a lot
