What is the pot value?anyone got an idea why my BWs sound like ass?
I installed them on a Solar baritone V and they have just 0 treble and attack and just extreme amounts of flubby bass. I have to crank my overdrives a lot to get a barely usable tone. Using a brand new set of .14-68 Daddario strings tuned to G# and I can't get this shit to sound acceptable in any way.
Could it be shitty potentiometers? My below average soldering skills? Just mind that the previous Duncan designed pups sounded like crap too but that didn't make me wonder that much.
I would suggest a 500k pot at least and lowering the bass side until the flub goes away, if you haven't already.
Oddly enough I didn't care for the BW in Drop C or lower, but love it in Drop D. It's very fuzzy in the low mids so perhaps it's not a good match for that guitar.
