gtel77 « THE PAF! »
Published on 08/17/12 at 05:22There were more than they! After trying (and retained since, despite some confrontations with other microphones shops) the strat set 60, set P90, the tv set 55, I had to try the famous set of PAF. I struggled to come here, I thought I had found my happiness level humbuckers. Serious error!
After a few tried everything ready (I know I abuse
) in humbuckers (seymour, seymour antiquity, Lollar, BKP), I thought my config was correct and that I will not do better. I pestais from time to time on rendering of a little fat neck pickup, or a note a little harsh in bridge, but I put it on account of my stringed guitar (Italia Maranello Custom), which are all of high good quality for the price, has certainly not the same wood and varnish that Gibby R9 (whatever ) or other accabit this guitar.
Well I was wrong! Marc I ordered a set of PAF wound slightly below (about 7K and 8K race in in bridge). Once mounted humbuckers set, my first thought was to the neck pickup. After adjustments necessary adjustments with all microphones mounted Mark I (quality has its own requirements), I finally found THE neck pickup. Round, but clear. flute, but open. Low, but the brilant. Incredibly, I did not think it existed!
I went to the bridge, and there all the same, but in the other direction! A micro bridge nasty, responsive and fits in, but not harsh or aggressive. P90 spirit somehow. Super well balanced, beautiful mediums of acute present but soft and not boomy bass, really great! And the intermediate position is the best of both worlds.
What I particularly like about these mics is their balance. No dents or frequency level, I pass the fly bridge pickup to neck pickup without any difference in level, more controls volume / tone are super exploitable (I did a 50's wiring).
After mounting the entire guitar pickups Marc, I thought I would be surprised. And whether, and how! This set of PAF is just wonderful, the best set of pickups that Marc did to me jour.Je therefore recommends that all lovers of authentic PAF, clear and open. This set on a beautiful and good Gibby, it must be wonderful! I think the shot .....
