Hello everyone,
I hope someone can help.
I recently took my JS100 into my favorite
local music store to have them replace the stock pickups with the PAF pro and the Fred. I went and picked the guitar up today when I brought it home and plugged it in I was very dissapointed.
The PAF sounds pretty fat and warm but the Fred in the bridge sounds very thin and trebly at least half the bass and mids compared to the PAF. Then I hit the coiltap, and I get the exact opposite. The Fred is warmer and the PAF hardly has any output at all and both pickups with the
coil tap engaged are less than half the volume of what they are with the coiltap off. Anyone with a similar setup that could tell me how their pickups are wired. The green and bare wires are soldered to ground. The black and white wires of each *go to opposite sides of the 3-way switch and the red wires go to the tone control/coiltap soldered to the contacts closest to the top of the guitar.
Also the spacing of the poles on the pickups
the especially the Fred is way off. Do I need a pickup with different pole spacing?
Thanks in advance
