lidl e Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 I have to replace the preamp in an old ibanez. The EMC BTC is perfect, but it is solderless. The pickups are EMGs, but the old type soldered on to the pots. Can i use a solderless harness with "solder" pickups? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fretmeister Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 Yes - you'll just have to cut the pickup end of the solderless cable and connect it up that way. Some people solder directly onto the pins of the preamp but if that goes wrong you've ruined the preamp. Far better to do the modification to the cable as that is the cheap bit. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor J Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 (edited) Do you have an EMG blend pot as part of the system? There's a part on it specifically designed for you to solder older pickups onto. Edited August 1 by Doctor J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
