Just completed my first pickup and active preamp install. Pretty chuffed with myself
-
I should have taken pictures as I went!
I dropped Bartolini MK6CBC pickups and HR 5.4AP/918 preamp into a Cort SCMS. Quite a considerable upgrade to my ears, as it now has active/passive switching and also three way mid selector switch.
Once the original electrics were stripped out I added two coats of conductive paint as the (single) original coat was not applied very well. Made sure I had continuity between the pickup and preamp cavities and away I went.
Everything went in nice and easy, although there wasn't a lot of room and some of the wires were very thin so soldering was a challenge in places. It looks a bit of a mess from the picture below, but it's all in and working which is the most important thing.
