Hey I want to change out one of the pickups in my SG. Looking for a strong active pickup.

I don't think actives and passives work together, unless youknow some crazy wiring scheme. And even then perhaps. I've got an EMG 81/60 set for $175. - Fri, 13 Aug 2004 12:59pm

You can wire actives and passives together, though it can be a pain in the ass. You can go the route of assigning them each their own Volume and tone pots(25k for emg's or similar), but when the switch is in the middle position, the actives overpower the passives due to the large drop in gain on the passives. Another route is to completely bypass the switch and use the 2 volume pots together, just turning one down if you only want one pickup sound. It's a pain in the ass. Just swap them both out man!!!! And don't forget the stereo input jack!!! - Sat, 14 Aug 2004 10:20pm

I got it, but I was already in the middle of another deal. Sorry Neil, I picked up a 89/81 set.
Thanks anyways though. - Tue, 21 Sep 2004 11:57am
