best pickup ever
Published on 11/28/12 at 19:45
A wonderful take on the P.A.F!
Published on 04/29/11 at 18:36The Plus in particular has impressed me quite a bit with its general versatility. At its core, I would liken it to a P.A.F pickup, but on steroids. It's a clean enough pickup to work really well for tones where gain is not a player in the sound (IE: country or certain blues tones). The Classic Plus is great for country esque tones that sound surprising for a full (IE: non coil split) humbucker. The drive tones though are definitely my favourite. It can do classic tones with a mid gain sound very well, and considering its output level, that is what you would think would be its niche. However in addition to this there is a really nice top end punch that is perfect for seventies/eighties hard rock tones. It's the type of pickup where you run it harder and use your pick attack and gain from the amp or a pedal to get your saturation as opposed to coming from the pickup itself.
My only problem with the pickup is that it's 2 conductor wired. I want a Jimmy Page coil splitting/phase setup for the guitar at some point, and with these pickups I am unable to do this. That may mean I do finally swap them up, but as it stands right now I've had this bridge pickup in the guitar for 13 months and for now, it is staying.

Cool

It is an expensive hair I would say, but it is good material.

Harsh harsh harsh!

Yeah, I could not exchange it against another microphone, C57 + flipped? I thought about it but honestly I'm freaking out a little ... A simple C57? I'm afraid I have a slight lack of potato ...
Result: I did not put the 500T's on my Les Paul for 2 years so I end up with a mono-Paulesquire The neck pickup. Class ...
To summarize I do not know if I'll take a mic Gibson pickups and shops it makes me sweat because I know quedalle and that is mostly pure snobbery, paid a high price ...
If someone can enlighten me in passing ...
Thank you!
