I recently got the pickups i ordered: Duncan distortion trembucker and two hot rails. I`ve got 1tone 1vol and a five way selector from my old jackson dinky. I hav`nt found any chematics just right for this, i tried the one for 1 humbucker and two single coils, 1tone 1 vol and the five way switch from : localhost//forum/images/attach/jpg.gif , instead of using the white leads from the singles I used the black hot ones from the hot rails, soldered the red and white together and soldered green and blank to ground on both, same with the trembucker. Did i do the right thing? Ive got some sound, but its very very noisy, and low output . maybe its just the grounding that`s abit out of wack? bad soldering maybe? I`ve installed mics before, but it was active emg`s, so i did`nt have to think much about grounding and stuff. I dont have very much experience, but I really wanna learn more, so i dont wanna just bring it to the store.
Oh, and, the hot rails, they look abit different. One has a base plate, the other one does`nt, and its taller. Are they exactly the same? If not, which one should be in neck/middle ?
All help very much appreciated!
