Hi Guys,

Used the LIII for the 1st time in anger last night and not sure whether its just amp settings or there is something I can do with the front p/u but it sounded very wooly/bassy and was almost over-powering my amp on its Rhythm channel (Mesa MKIV).

What are the trim pots all about on the HH? - if I understand things correctly, its only the 2 & 4 positions that can be altered and the overall preamp boost level - is this correct?

It could be just a different sound from my Luke 2's, but I also have a few PRS's and Gibson LP's which are HH and I am used to dialling them in properly.

Any ideas?

Sorry can't answer your question but you can always bring it up my house for me to have a listen :)

Maybe try "not" using it in "anger".
