Cold Sweat Bridge in the Neck Position??

[pettymusic]

Can anyone comment on this?

I know it maybe hot. Can I use a resistor to match the resistance of the stock Cold Sweat Neck?

Bridge DC: 13.7KΩ *

Neck DC: 8.3KΩ *

Maybe add a 5k resistor in series?

I have a Bill Lawrence l500xl in the bridge right now running at 11.2k.

Thanks!

It's not just about the DC resistance, it's a completely different pickup with a different magnet (ceramic in the bridge, alnico V in the neck) and possibly also a different gauge of wire.

By all means try it in the neck position, but I can't see any benefit in adding the resistor, you won't "transform" it into a Cold Sweat neck pickup.

That said, I have no idea what effect the resistor would have.  :?

(Welcome to the forum, by the way!  :D )

Thanks for the reply and the welcome! I guess we'll never know until I try it. I have an amp project I am trying to get through. I might just have to give it a go. I really don't think my Warpig would sound good there. That is just a hunch though.

Maybe you could rig a switch to take the resistor in and out of the circuit - then you'll really be able to tell what effect it's having!

mmm,  yes. A SPST would be easy to set up! Good idea. Thanks!
