    Not the usual scratchy noise

    Got some weird shit going on with V7 V8 set again. I swapped magnets and got what I thought was microphonic squealing so I wax potted twice myself and then sent them to get repotted at Hathor pickups and then found out it was a pedal problem and not a pickup problem. But I had this background...

    I know pickup height can be a preference thing but I was wondering if there is a suggested height for these pups? I’m getting quite a bit or noise/crackling through the speakers from them. Or I’d anyone has these or done tech work on these what are you setting them at? Cheers.

    Hey peeps, new here to the forums. Just bought a stock 1077XL and was looking for some pickup input. I'm looking for a very aggressive bridge pickup, a neck pickup that has that "buttery" sound, and a single coil that has that spank sound. Thanks in advance.

    What pickups are you using in your Horizon 7-strings?

    I have an ESP Horizon with painkiller in the bridge. I can get pretty defined tones on the lower strings but it is a pain (no pun intended) to control the brittle/harsh highs that I need to dial in to get the chunk the way I like it with this thing. I am not the most savvy when it comes to...

    Confusion around pickup wiring in general.

    Howdy, y'all. I ordered some Black Winters for my Agile Chiral Parallax 7 string and have all my tools ready. I just want to get some reassurance from others who actually know what the fuck they're doing. I bought BWs for my Ibanez RG7321 a few years ago and had the same confusion. In my old...
