Hi Folks,
I'm new here but couldn't really find alot regarding my problem, so a new thread it is.

I have a '73 with an added J. It came with Seymour Duncan Quaterpounders (P and J) but thats not my sound. I bought a set of Wizard P(the 84) and J(the Thumper) pickups.

The problem, I'm getting less volume and tone, as soon as I roll in the J-pickup. Everything is wirred perfecrtly, according too the Tech. it's not the difference in output.
That story sticks 'cause the SD set does the same thing, eventhough the J has more "output"

The stats.:
Old Seymour (quater pounder) set up:
Jazz +/- 14 K
P +/- 12 K

New Wizard set up:
Jazz +/- 10 k
P +/- 14 k

So what in the world could the solution be?

Who can help?

Cheers

I'd have to say that it sounds like one of the pickups is wired in backwards. Easiest way to find out is to reverse the leads on one, then try that. If that makes it worse...then I'm stumped. Have you asked Andy at Wizard?
