tom1946 Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 Hey guys, I play an Ibanez Mezzo and didn't like the eq or the pickups really so I've bought an EMG P/J set which just plugs together easily and now it's a lot beefier and sounds great! except this morning when I was practicing for church and the neck P pickup was emitting a kind of ringing noise, sounded sort of microphonic to me. I didn't like it so I took another bass to church. Any thoughts what might be causing it guys? Cheers, Tom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
velvetkevorkian Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 Does it make a noise if you tap on the pickup itself? If so it's microphonic and I've no idea what to do about that; if not, maybe try lowering the pickup a little, having the strings too close can cause strange ringing overtones (something about the magnetic fields interfering with each other, I think).
