Hi all,

I am about to change the pick-ups on my MCI D10 from 705's to Geaorge l e66 pu's. Does anyone have a wiring diagram for the switches on the MCI?, or any experience of installing e-66's on an MCI?

Many thanks

Chris

Chris:
Is there something wrong with the 705's ?. I wouldn't trade mine for a car load of E 66's.

Willis - there is nothing inherently wrong with the 705's I just find them too hot and the tone very brittle sounding as I pick the strings quite hard. I have tried altering the height of the pick ups and trying to eq out the problem on the amp but not very sucessfully. I am going to try the george l pu's to see if there is any improvement. If not, then I will probably put the 705's back in.

Chris Luker - thanks for the offer. I'll be keeping the 705's for a time whilst I test out the george l pu's. If / when I sell them I'll put a post on the for sale section of the forum and try to remember to let you know.

Thanks

Chris

It's not a range expander its the model just prior t the range expander. Outwardly it looks the same as a range expander but the body is screwed / bolted together rathr than welded and the cross shafts are not so easy to replace. The switch wiring will be the same though. I think I have figured it out but if anyone can post it I would be grateful so that I double check it.

thanks

Chris
