Question is it just me or?... jp12 vs jp6 middle position split pickups

[firks]

whilst having a good session comparing my 2 jp's today, i noticed that the tone of the middle position on the jp12 a quite bit different compared to the jp6.

now obviously the different fretboard and frets etc play a part, but it seems like theres less split coil character if you know what i mean. best way i can describe it is that it sounds more like the neck position but with less low end.

its not a bad thing, i was just quite surprised that they sound so different from each other in that position and wanted to clarify it with you guys

sorry if my highly technical description is hard to follow haha

The pickups in your JP6 are completely different. Very hard to compare.

They are differently wired. On the JP the middle position is coil tapped with the push/pull down. On the JP12, they are coil tapped with the push/pull up.

Unless you already knew that in which case I apologize.

ah right ok, i thought they'd be wired differently because of the coil tap option on the jp12. thats the reason they sound that different is it then?
