If your pots do nothing while they usually work, it can only be your wiring which is wrong.

Re: i hate emg


i'd take it to a guitar tech to check out your wiring - if it worked before it should work again!

Re: i hate emg


sounds less like "i hate emg" than "i hate wiring" dude, the active pickups use different pots, so it's doubtfull they would work by just swapping the pickups over, get to a tech or decent shop and explain.

What about the jack? Don't you need the one that comes with EMG's?
