I meant EMGs as in active........that is if I can't troubleshoot the ground problem. Aharon

I have an Epi Les PAul Standard with a DiMArzio X2N in the bridge and it's totally quiet,I mean dead quiet but whatever pickup I use for the neck has a buzz,I've had the original of course,a gibson and a GFS and they all have buzz when selected.......mothing major but annoying. I tried both wirings,independent volumes and the one that when in the middle either vol is a master with equal results. I'm at my wits end, I might just buy an EMG for the neck and be done but what's the possible cause?. Thanks for any help. Aharon

Thanks Acousticraft.............that's what I thought too.............heavier strings. Ok,I'll try that and see if not it would make a nice slide guitar......8^(

As some of you may remember I built a tele of sorts (padauk) and it looks fine for a first effort and it tuned fine too. I had the action a little high in the beginning and the neck played fine with no dropouts ot buzzing,after a while when I decided to properly set it up I found that the neck does not bow(maybe from all those years the neck spent without string tension) even after I loosened the truss rod completely. Should I re-string with a heavy gauge and hope the neck will move?..................should I use clamps and try to force a bow...........any other suggestions? I read the tutorial but nothing on necks that won't adjust. Thanks Aharon

If Im not mistaken those pups are creamic magnets,much like cramic speakers they have their own sound apart from the alnicos,maybe more trebly,maybe a little harsher,just a diferent flavour.....

[/quote] Well, at least he's correct. EMG-HZ's aren't bad pickups, just a little misunderstood. [/quote] I was searching other stuff and I came up with the thread,I could not resist but to give my belated answer...........gear snob-ism irks me. Aharon

[quote name='krazyderek' post='21662' date='Sep 18 2003, 01:39 PM']i played one of those jacksons.. with the HZ... my immediate reaction after plugging into a familiar amp was EWWWWWWWW they sound so bland.. and dead... and just.... YUCK... definitly a far cry from the 85's i have in my strat... and i agree with wes... they are much noisier then the active line of emg's... ask the store if you can just take the pickups out, and get a discount off the price cause i see HZ on ebay all the time... people can barely give those things away... but they might be good for projects.. good "shop" pickups i guess[/quote] Every pick up has diferent sound,we know that.The HZ are just fine,you just have to set them up diferent,can't be too close to the strings or they sound harsh.

Wow...step by step instructions.........that's support. Thanks again Wammi Aharon

It will, yes. Its not real dramatic but its a bit crisper sounding. I have the 6 the rollers,to change them i push the pin out.......is it reusable or will the pin be ruined,do you sell replacement pins?. Thanks Aharon

It will, yes. Its not real dramatic but its a bit crisper sounding. Thanks for the help man!!! Aharon

Wammi,I have a strat style guitar with a 2320.I love the guitar and the bridge.......I guess the rolles are brass and I wanted to know if changing those to steel rollers would improve sustain ... Thanks for any help. Aharon
