| Jan 25, 2011 at 13:00 | comment | added | Jduv | Potted pickups do indeed tighten th pickup a little, and the wax reduced the micro phonics of the coil--so if anything my intuition tells me that it would reduce the amount of feedback you receive (I need to research this claim). Also, I would really advise against potting your own pickups--especially if you have a nice set. I would hate to ruin a $300 set of Lollar Imperials, and most high end pickups already come potted--but the article is great if you want to experiment on a set of cheapies. | |
