Alfie Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 I was wondering if anyone else who owns a Wizard thumper experiences significantly uneven volume between strings? The E and A strings were incredibly loud whereas the D and G are incredibly quiet. Having switched the pickups around now the E and D strings are loud and the A and G strings are quiet. I am very confused. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukeFRC Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 check the height of each bit of pickup to each strings? turn screws down to make quieter and vice versa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monckyman Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Also check your polarity, could be one is out of phase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_bass5 Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 My first Thumper was like this, in fact it was worse as one half of the pickup was actually silent. Maybe you have it now ;-) Give Andy a call or email. he was very quick to replace it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfie Posted November 15, 2011 Author Share Posted November 15, 2011 It's not a pickup height issue. How do I check the polarity of the pickups? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_bass5 Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Not sure about the polarity check but you could try tapping something like a screwdriver on each pole piece with the bass plugged in to see if there is a big difference in volume. This would rule out string height/pup adjustment issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
