Dave Vader Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 I have an old Kay pickup in the neck position of my favourite bass. It is the reason I love it so much, it has a beautiful wooden tone to it when it's soloed, and does nice deep DBesque tones. However, it has gone very much microphonic, resulting in clicks and thuds if I knock it too much. My question is this, if I wax pot it, will I lose all that lovely creamy tone that I am so fond of. Will it sound like an actual cheap nasty old kay bass? I have two of these pickups so theoretically I could a/b it, but I was going to send the other one to andy at wizard when I have a few quid to spare, to see what he can make with it on a rewind. Any suggestions? (Oh and hints and tips on wax potting if i do go ahead with it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
