As for swapping the phase, if it sounds thin & nasally (everything set flat including amp), then try it - it can always be put back.

thanks for the reply! could this possibly work with the 774 since it has a switch selector instead of a rotary one? or does the problem not exist on that sorry that this is a bit of a struggle for me to understand since i only do novice electronics at school but I'm good at soldering I have read about a battery problem with the the 37* series and was wondering if this applied to the 77* series as well.

I checked & sure enough, so were mine. I reversed one pup & the tone blossomed, so inaccuracies seem to be 'not unusual' in this line.

hey 'the marlin' I'm quite intrested on getting this modification my self do you have to take it to this shop or can you do it your self with a pcb diagram and some wires/components? thanks
