I don't know what is going on in this thread. Obviously hooky_lowdown and killed_by_death have had an argument about something else somewhere else and now there is a bit of stalking going on and it is being plastered over this totally unrelated thread where someone just wanted to know about a pickup.
absolutely no one asked about any capacitors, so I don't understand why there is a raging argument about it, although I would say that nothing bigger than a millifarad has any application in an audio setting, and anything from a farad upwards would only be seen in an automotive engine, as effectively it would work like a short term battery (and would also need something very big to house it). You would never get something bigger than a micro farad in a bass, unless in the power supply stabilisation of a preamp, so obviously the unties are messed up. A megafarad doesn't exist outside of some crazy science experiment as it would be house sized.
Can we just give it a break?
