I just rviser a Gibson The Paul, 1978 Team of the microphone in the bridge position (instead of "T-Buck" Gibson original). The owner of this guitar had already gained converts in the late 1980s. The microphone is installed with a long-split switch that puts the mass of coils for a single-coil mode.

This mic is already old, the logo is almost completely erased OBL through use. I feel that the rails were dmagntiss, apparently because of Manir Ingal when tested with the tip of a screwdriver one of deus rails "glue" of advantage than the other.

Test indicates the resistance of ohmtre 8kohm single mode and 16.6 kohm humbucking mode, these are impressive figures for more than twice the multimdia vnrable T-Bucker "Gibson original in the neck position that spits timidly its 7.5 kOhm. This mic is obviously silent for the (very) big sound.

Once I plugged the surprise that the big expected output level is not so much the sr T-Bucker in the neck position dlivre a LOWER level, but not that much finally ... Rest assured there is no problem for saturation because the clean channel of my Mesa Boogie, it saturates the gain with dj 3-4, pushing the channels get saturated imm immediately a big sound, and pretty well balanced with Dfine lot of sustain and harmonics, Gary Moore Santana, how to say ... Call it the saturation own!
However the sound is clear dcevant is why I put 8. The mic sounds too diffuse, it lacks dynamics and precision, and it finally RESULT quite logical for a micro surbobin. No need to search in intermediate-sounds, it's even more bouillasseux. I would suggest to put a zero on 20, but ...
But there are splits position, single-coil mode overtaking the table, the sound is more polished and defined, and the loss level is not so important, the remaining reserve of gain ample for a satisfying crunch Lger for good rhythmic rock. As a position becomes usable for intermediate-get beautiful sounds bluesy.

My overall rating is 8, for the quality construction and image "Bill Lawrence" but the microphone is Designed for big sound, and lack of versatility as it is. Verify well when buying a guitar equipped availing oneself if the split single-coil is essential, otherwise provides dception!
