ok so got it fitted at machinehead in town... they charged my dad for an extra pot as well saying the last one was broken!!!!
anyway thats beside the point.... the fact is... i plugged in my guitar expecting everything to be hunky dory and it is! great tone, everything i could have asked for... so i try turning the tone knob.. that works too..... then i try pulling out the tone pot and my heart sinks... it works but cuts the volume to almost nothing!!! so i turn my amp up and i get a kind of dull tone with most treble sucked out.... now with the amp turned up i push the pot in again and the volumes deafining!!!
so basically the push/pulling is useless because when i switch i'll be completely drowned out by my bassist and guitarist or ill drown them out!!!
now tim said the difference between the two sides of the push/pull in my pickup would be about 10% (in hotness/tone) and when my mate wired the pup that was correct, i would push it in and there would be more treble, the pup would be slightly more aggressive... now though i swear the difference is at LEAST 50%... i push it in and its like cranking the amp...
the way it seems to me is that my mate got 1/2 the job right- the push/pull worked but normal tone control didnt work and there was a tad too much hum.... i think the shop on the other hand got the opposite 1/2 of the job right- they got the normal tone control working and there was just a bit of hum but they didnt get the push/pull right...
this whole thing has just got ridiculous now.... anyone got any thougts as to what could be wrong???
