Members ubaid88 Posted January 5, 2008 Members Share Posted January 5, 2008 hey guyz!! OK. here's is second pickup. It is same p-90 style pickup.I'll mention the apparent glitches, but i dunno if they matter or not. firstly,my winding wasn't too good (9300 turns of 41 gauge wire). There was a break once, I solded the wire and spayed lacker. It was a bit loose towards the end. secondly,I used 2 magnets are .6 cm x 6 cm x .3 cm. I don't know what type it is. May be ceramic(by appearance). thirdly,I didn't used a metal base plate. I directly this to the connected this thing to the input jack. I am getting some sort of an output... but definitely not a musical one.... its like saws on metal .... a weird buzzing to be more accurate..... I also connected this pickup to my PC, to check the input level. When i tap my PC casing. I get a sound. It is amplifying it and very clearly. Just like a drum its a pretty mean mess-up.... i feel pretty royally fudged! what should i do !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect that you only have one side of the pickup connected to output of the guitar, and it's similar to when you've got the cord plugged into that amp (but not the guitar), and you touch the tip of the 1/4" phone-plug. I'd double-check the wiring connections at the pickup. Have you metered the pickup at it's hook-up wire connections, and at the guitar's output jack? Good luck.
