Well its not that the pickups aren't working exactly, they produce a sound, but it's really something i'd expect from a stock pickup, it honestly sounds no better than the stock i compared it with, perhaps the notes were very slightly more defined, but that's it. The sustain is pretty bad and i can't really get a very heavy sound from them, while on the same amp settings a (much cheaper) seymour duncan pickup outdid it for dynamics, clarity etc
I was just confused because the sound i'm getting doesn't in any way reflect the reviews that i read prior to buying the pickups, and certainly not the name 'nailbomb'.
I'm going to take the strings off and have a look at how they're wired in...if nothing's wrong then they'll probably go straight on e bay...
If there was something wired incorrectly would the pickups still make a sound? or might they act in a vaguely similar way to what i described?
