Hi,
I'm considering a guitar with this set....normally I go for medium output pickups.....I don't like it when bridge pickups get too nasal...although that might be more of a passive high output as opposed to an active pickup characteristic?
Regardless though, normally I'd strip out the electronics and put in (passive) pickups I like...an advantage is that my pedalboard and amp settings don't really need to be changed when changing guitars in the middle of a gig.
Anyhow, I was wondering if there is an onboard mod that people might use in order to tame the overall output of active pickups to the level they want?
I know people sometimes use drive pedals to do the same.....e.g. drop the volume on the pedal so that you don't hit the front of the amp as hard.....but real estate on my pedalboard is always a challenge...
So, yeah, any recommended mods to achieve what I'm looking at.
The funny thing is, I may not even be able to grab this guitar at a price that works for me....but it's just how my brain works!
Cheers,
Andy

Obviously, this is an easy experiment to try with the Quik Connect Solderless wiring harness but a total PITA with fully hard-wired circuits.
Seriously, though, I had EMGs in my Jackson and just took them out for some passive Alegrees... I might have been tempted to swap them like @Funkfingers said, but mine weren't quick connects and I couldn't be bothered...
Sorry you didn't get the guitar, Vigiers are lovely. But expensive, and better to be safe than sorry if you were getting a "vibe" off an Ebay seller...
