Checking resistance (Pickups)

[epi0205]

Could I possibly pick someones brain regarding checking
the resistance on a set of pickups I have. The reason I
ask is that they are unmarked as to bridge/neck. The leads
are 4 wire, (R,B,W,G and w/bare ground), One is insulated
in gray and the other is insulated in black. No other mark
or identifiers..? They are Rockfield SWC pickups and I'd
like to mark them for a project down the road.

Hate like everything to sound so goofy on this. I have a
small meter and wasn't sure what setting to accurately
check the pickups on?
Sorry:thwap and Thanks so much.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!

The part I can answer is what setting to put your meter on...it has to be on the resistance or ohm setting and you want kohm or killiohms

According to their website there is not a lot of difference in them. The neck is around 8.45, and the bridge is 9.15. So if you get a reading in these ranges you can label them.

Refer to this page on the Rockfield website:

To measure the resistance of each pickup, the white & green wires should be connected, either soldered (best) or tightly twisted & taped. Then just touch one probe of a multimeter to the red wire and one to the black. Set the multimeter to read resistance (ohms) on an appropriate range, probably 20K for most meters. The bridge pickup will generally be the one with the higher resistance.

Thank you sooooo much!!!
I appreciate you all taking the
time to shoot a response.
Fantastic! I'll get this done
and they'll be good to go.

Happy New Year as weill.

Just a follow up... Rockfield SWC Zebras
1. Bridge @ 9.35 (Blk insulator)
2. Neck @ 8.70 (Gray Insulator)

Not that the insulators would follow suit that
I would be aware of... ;)
Thanks again buds!!!
