Hi, i have an ibanez sz series guitar. Today i got my new pickups fitted;
an sh-4 in the bridge and '59 pickup in the neck.
The 59 sounds fine to me, but the SH-4 is meant to be a high output pickup,
capable of being used for metal and hard rock but it sounds flat.
With full gain up all the way on my marshall mg100hdfx i get a slightly
overdriven sound which sounds nice for open chords but no good for anything
heavier.
The pickups were fitted by a well known technician so i dunno what the
problem is. The sh-4 kinda sounds like its only using a single coil. ive
tried using a zoom metal pedal and a boss ds-1 and it still sounds flat, no
attack and bite to it. Someone suggested it may be my pots going, or could
this be a wiring fault.
I have pictures of the wiring if you need them
Thankss
neil
