I've been forced to phone a nurse

I'm going to replace a bridge pickup, and the new pup is 11.3 K ohms which is 3.1 K ohms lower than the neck, which is 14.4 K ohms As far as i'm aware, for obvious reasons, the higher resistance pups tend to be at the bridge position, but in reality, is 3.1 K ohms a small enough difference for it not to matter ? Of course i can lower the neck pup and set the bridge pup as close to the strings before i hit magnet pull. The other option is to swap them round and put the lower K ohm pup at the neck, but this will require more work Hopefully, the small difference means i can get past a volume in-balance by using the pup height adjustment

YMMV of course, as it always does with personal taste.

But yellow is this years black

You can't trust them. They'll obviously do this again at some point, as they've shown what their philosophy regarding band etiquette is Announce on Farcebook a week before the gig that you forgot you were having your eyebrows plucked on that date
