Passive humbucker splittable (4 son) in Alnico 5, two rows of studs (a rangerglable high) level of sympathetic outflow (352mV).

I do not use that neck, coupled microphones not always trs bridge purposes (SD TB6, DM DP100, etc.. Sending the 400-450mv).

Its sound is very nice, and is positioned between the Tone Zone and Fred.

- More gain, dynamics and bass that Fred (305mV), while retaining the latter's singing ct (dcrire hard with words, everything). In short, a grain similar, with more bass, the Norton has more in the vest!

- Almost as winning a Tone Zone (375 mV), the ear is not obvious violent, less bass (all the better because in neck ...), so many dynamics.

Before I clicked the Norton, I had some neck DM microphones on hand.

- The Paf Pro, which has less gain (300mV), and feels. It also bavouille too much compared to Norton. But still warmer than the latter (this explains cel.

- The Air Norton (275 mV). Friendly, but it lacks real potato to hold the shock front of the micro bridge. A bit of a micro dancer what!

I do not even speak the SD neck I had trs quickly (all fawn in Duncan too often turns around two microphones, the SH1 and SH2). Chubby, no gain Touda, plump grain / drooling / imprcis. Nevertheless remains the same SH10N "Full Shred", one of the few Duncan neck really liked me.

Last, I stick to a slecteur Megaswitch Schaller, history of having clear and crunch sounds Zulas in single coil (especially with beginners in the patator bridge!)

In doubles, it sends all of the same lot, one can easily clean channel cruncher (volume knob back and calls for mdiators not trs). Obviously, by adjusting the attack, everything remains clean.

In one simple, b'en ... it has a single coil sound, the grain is similar to grain humbucker, with little hum (almost imperceptible in fact!). The volume is then gnral diminished, which is normal.

Coupled with the single bridge Splitt you end up with a really nice sound, trslgrement "creusquot; almost 2 position of a layer (I said almost).

In short, the microphones, taking advantage of the split, trs is really versatile, and raking in the metal as well as in fantasy sugar, blues, etc.. Identity while having a sound (not like some DM, and Norton Air DropSonic at the top).

That's it, I still found a micro neck engaging me! Huhuhuhuhu!
