Rocco_Crocco Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Mine is very lacking in the low end/bass department. The Lester model equivalent pickup sounds more ballsy and powerful. I am trying to figure out if it is the nature of the stock Line 6 pickup, or if something else is going on, such as a wiring issue. Any help is appreciated.

jerseyboy Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 I've got 2013 & 2017 JTV59's and I wouldn't describe bridge pickups as lacking low end/bass. I don't adjust mine close to the strings either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocco_Crocco Posted January 27, 2018 Author Share Posted January 27, 2018 Thanks guys. I am not sure what is going on with my pickup. At first I thought maybe one of the coils stopped working, but there is no 60 cycle hum, so that is not it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerseyboy Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Time to make up a 1/4" plug/cable with alligator clips on one end - attach to the bridge pickup wires where they connect to PCB and/or selector switch directly and feed that to an amplifier. I once discovered a bad pickup selector on a Strat guitar with the trusty alligator clips to 1/4" phono. Take the battery out of the JTV59 to avoid possibly shorting any other circuitry.
