Well there are several options. First it is completely different thing to repair the ones you have and to buy new ones. If you are not satisfied with your sound now you can always buy some nice dimarzios or seymor duncans.
I would first check out the wires inside, maybe you just got some interuption in the circuit and need some resoldering. -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

I would first check out the wires inside, maybe you just got some interuption in the circuit and need some resoldering. I'd say that too. I'd bet to 99% it's a loose wire. Check first the cables to the switch. Try switch position 4 and 5, is it only the 5'th that's shorting. Or do you get single coil sound on position 4 also? Position 4 sould be both bridge pu and mid pu connected, you can maye hear if it's sounding the same as position 3? -------------------- My bands homepage

QUOTE (drummingguitarist06 @ Apr 1 2008, 10:38 PM) It would be nice to get some new ones, but I dunno which pickups make which sounds...I always have heard Seymour Duncan and DiMarzios were the way to go, but can you mix and match (like a Dimebucker and a Zakk Wylde EMG) or am I thinking of something totally different? You can mix and match. I know the EMG81 and EMG85 (Zakk Wylde) are active pickups, need a battery and you'd have to change into ~25kOhm pots. I don't know if the Dimebucker is actibe aswell? I'd rather keep it more simple and stick with passive pickups, if it was me. Here's a thread on different brands of pickups -------------------- My bands homepage
