Does anyone else have volume imablance problems with their pickups in a guitar?
Not so annoying playing at home, but playing live it becomes really obvious.
I have a HSS parker., and want to put a powerful sounding single coil in the middle and a softer one at the neck. is there any (easy and prefferably passive) way to even the two out so the volume change will not be so obvious?
And no i dont have space for individual volumes
Calling the wiring god....
All you're left with is either height adjustment of the pickups (lower the louder one) or choose two pickups for neck and middle that have roughly the same output.
Height adjusments have always worked for me.
Yeah - height adjustment has always worked for me too. For most PUs height makes a huge difference. I think that the trick might be to start will all PUs fairly low (ie just above flush) and work from there. If you start low, you have a lot of room to play with to get the quiet PUs louder by moving them up. In any case IMHO low SCs seem to retain more stratty tones that higher ones.
I have found it can take a while to get them all just right, lots of tiny adjustments, working back and forth until they even out. Also take a screwdriver to a gig and work on them there too as gig conditions often differ from home conditions. (I often adjust string height a little during gigs too the first time I play a particular guitar live, as the 'at home' setting often needs a tweak when I'm in a sweaty bar.)
