A damaged pot can give really weird results. I had something similar when a pot was bad. Maybe these can help: http://www.seymourduncan.com/support/choos...nstalling-pick/ http://www.seymourduncan.com/support/wiring-diagrams/ You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Earth	QUOTE (Hisham Al-Sanea @ May 14 2008, 09:09 AM) for ther pots for sure yoiu need 500k ohm but you have to check the briedge pickups how many wires it has 4 or 2 or 3 if it has 4 thats mean this pickup has a booster so you must add a swich for that booster and manually use it When you have 4 wires, you have 2 from each coil. This is done so that you can separate the coils for different configurations of switching. Such as hook the coils of the same pick up in series or parallel, Or use one coil from one pick up with one from another. in series or parallel. One thing I have run across is that if you are changing pickups from one manafacturer to another the color code is almost never the same. Dimarzio and Duncan have completely different color codes so make sure you have the proper wiring diagram from the manafacturer. Peace. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
