Any suggestions for a top mount ric 330 neck pup replacent
The one on my 80s 330 is it's only real weak point . Bit dark and flubby and weakfish.
Functions ok with the bridge pup but on its own as a neck pickup it's average
Cheers

Re: Ric neck pickup replacement
tried a nailbomb? I've heard the neck pup on the the 330 is the only real weak point, a bit dark and flubby.
So, is that low alcohol or no alcohol at all? mmmm, no alcohol, do you want to try it? Noooooooooo.

Re: Ric neck pickup replacement
could try moving it up and down, lowering it could reduce the amount of Ric you hear.
There are still some that think the neck PU is moved to accommodate the extra frets which only proves they cannot detect the difference in length of each.

Yeh, as you'll be aware the pole pieces are non adjustable and it's hard to move it down. Could get a couple of mm removing the shim
