I have a ls80 and the bridge pickup is microphonic
if I get the pickup wax potted will it change the sound of the pickup ?
 
Very unlikely. Shed pickups (aren't they in Wales?) have potted a couple of pickups for me, & it transformed my TE70 neck pickup. It howled like a pig before, but the potting solved that & the tone was the same.

Drop Spencer a line for a quote.

thanks for that... I will look them up, cheers
 
Potting pickups is actually fairly easy if you are just carefull. I just did three strat pups that were microphonic and they turned out really good. here is a link that will help u do them yourself. Its more rewarding to do them yourself.
