It's easy if you try,
No shitty tone in songs,
Just beautiful raw sound.

Imagine all the people,
Reaching tonal heaven,
You couuullldddd too...

Not a Lennon fan, eh?

So not emg...
so for ibanez, what do u suggest....
a duncan...
is it any good...
heard from my fwen's esp horizon...
i got goose bumps when it went in e minor...
with an korg multi effects...

Hey if ur looking for seymour ducan,i got a friend who wants to sell his pikups..still new and cheap man...PM me if ur intrested.

u can't choose pickups by brand la friend...
u should know what u want then only get...
dun decide on brand then the sound it produces.
look around la.. ask people who have emg, duncans, dimarzios...
if u can try their guitar better still.. it may sound different on ur guitar because of action and ur body's wood but at least u get an idea of how it will sound like.

thanks dude...
i'll remember that....

huhuhu....answered...huhuhu

looking foward to change my LP pickup...

no discussions about piezo PUs?

I was thinking of building a solid bass body with piezo bridge pickups and no onboard electronics. (kind of like the Line 6 Variax minus the Variax)

Then you could theoretically play with contrabass strings...hahahah

Wonder what sound will come out leh?

build?? where?
how?

u learn to build bass?!!!!

cincai screw some wood together oni la...hahaha
It's just for the sake of experimenting. I want to see how "true" piezos can sound. I am striving towards a contrabass sound on a fretless. With magnetic PUs cannot even come close due to the steel strings. So i wanted to try piezos to see if i can get closer with contrabass strings or not...

hav u try piezo on ur own guitar?

jz hantam la wahah

just rewired my pup configurations

now at pos 2-4 the sc and hums are out of phase which gives a really funny quaky countryish/mark knophler(?) sound

Mark Knopfler...

Eh, your hums comes with 4 conducter wires right? Didn't you wire it so that you could reverse the polarity with a switch when you installed your pups?

well i dont know about that....
i think ive already maxed out my options with a push pull and a dpdt...
gonna everything for now and save up for a new amp

AMPEG HEAD??

Oh well, I thought you wire it that way heh.
Perhaps you could install an additional switch like Jimmy Page.
Hey, what about your strat GAS?

He plays the 6 string.

well there are ampeg guitar amps at JS

I read somewhere that active PUs not only increase the signal output, it also helps to regulate the signal strength.

Referring to bass PUs... When u turn the volume knob down the high freqs (10 kHz) get cut out by the standard fender Precis and Jazzes. But on active basses, the high freqs still come through on low volume. How does an active PU achieve this?

And apparently there are active PUs and passive PUs with active on board preamps.... Whats the difference? Do active PUs use electromagnets instead of permanent magnets? If they use electromagnets then 9V generates a pretty weak magnetic field if i'm not wrong...
Also, whats the difference between 18V system and 9V system? (besides MORE POWER!!!)

soooo manyy quesstionnnsss

*EDIT* missing sentence....

yea active PUs have a very weak magnetic field, thats what the preamp is for to boost signal.
also basses have active eqs.
active eq eg it adds treble when you turn treble knob, rather than passive which cuts bass instead to make it sounds more trebley.
18v system you get more headroom, the pickup sounds more open etc.
