Members pimphat22 Posted May 9, 2007 Members Share Posted May 9, 2007 Hello all! First post here.I just got a set of MM motherbuckers for my Greco Lp copy. Been going crazy trying to figure out the wiring for a standard lp style set up. I have currently wired the pu's with black= hot , white/bare=ground , and red/blue=soldered and shielded. Everything seems to work but it sounds horrible. They sound really muddy and fuzzy. i get no bite or clearity what so ever. could i have wired these wrong? Any advise would be greatly appreciatied.

Members Voltaire Posted May 9, 2007 Members Share Posted May 9, 2007 you could have wired them wrong or you could have damaged something (with the soldering iron) i have mighty mite motherbucker (bridge) that i'm going to install later in the day actuallyyy. i've never tried them before but heck, they may sound muddy-who knows.

Members pimphat22 Posted May 9, 2007 Author Members Share Posted May 9, 2007 Google = Mighty Mite looked at that before....it's for a different pickup. It does not work for the motherbuckers. At least mine anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think the wiring would be the same for all their models. Red and white tied if you do not want coil splitting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jrockbridge Posted May 9, 2007 Members Share Posted May 9, 2007 I believe the wiring color code for the Motherbuckers is the same as Seymour Duncan. I wired my Motherbuckers a looooooooong time ago. I think this might help (it says red & white soldered together) http://www.seymourduncan.com/images/schematics/501005-110.pdf [EDIT] Fixed error!

Members jrockbridge Posted May 9, 2007 Members Share Posted May 9, 2007 I'm pretty sure that I followed Seymour Duncan wiring codes. Red + white soldered together. If this doesn't work, let me know. http://www.seymourduncan.com/images/schematics/501005-110.pdf Flip to page 2 where it has the diagram and this information: A- Pickup SelectorB- Solder the braided shield to the back ofvolume for bridge pickupC- Solder Hot output hereD- Volume for Neck pickupE- Tone for bridge pickupF- Tone for Neck pickupG- Output JackH- Ground/SleeveI- Hot/TipJ- Green & Bare solder to back of potK- Red and White solder together and insulatedL- Black wire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members n0fx Posted May 9, 2007 Members Share Posted May 9, 2007 I had a pair of those and they have huge output, like 18-21k ohms !BUT they had NO definition or bite. I do However like the GFS h07 andh08's. Good luck though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members pimphat22 Posted May 9, 2007 Author Members Share Posted May 9, 2007 thanks for all the info. I think the problem is that they just dont sound that good. Like n0fx says, there is just no bite or clarity at all....very loud though. I have EMG's in my other guitar and it sounds good so maybe i'll just go that route with this guitar as well. Thanks again for all of the help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
