[quote name='green' post='768395' date='Mar 8 2010, 07:42 PM']well, i guess it's pure physics:
if the g-string is just as close to the pickup as the e-string is, then the e-string would have a lot more output, because there is more metal vibrating over the pickup.
so, the g-string may sound weak, because it is too far away from the pole piece.
i don't think it has to do with the center of the pole piece.
the g-string - being so thin - has the biggest amplitude, rigth ?
so, it's necessary to pick it up somehow different sompared to the e-string for example.[/quote]
Yeah, i get the physics part but my comment was really why its so bad on my SUB and not on my other basses. All my other basses have the E and G pole pieces level and none have lost the G string as much as my Sub.
In fact my Duck Dunn has the same strings on and with the pup perfectly straight i have to almost back off the G string.
