i own a ebmm evh hardtail. since lately i felt it didn't sound quite right, i had my tech measure both pickups.
the pickups sound unbalanced. the bridge is powerfull, actually i think it is the most cool in your face sounding pickup i have. the neck however is weaker, lower in volume. when i tap the poles with a screwdriver there is sound from both coils of the neck pickup.
the bridge one read about 18k but the neck one almost 0k. we verified if all conections were ok or that the wires aren't interrupted, but everything is ok.
the sound of the pickup is nice, woody and single-coil-ish. but very unbalanced with the bridge pickup
i raised the screws in the black coil as close as possible to the strigs to make it balance more. on the dirty channel of any of my amps there is a little difference in volume between the pickups, but lets say it's bearable, but on the clean channel the difference is pretty major.
i own another axis, so i had what to compare to. the evh has the patent aplied for n1, the axis has the patented n2. the bridge pickups sound virtually the same, but between the neck ones there is difference, in tone and volume.
what do you think is the problem and what can i do?
