It's a little-known fact that the position of the P pickup does vary across P/J's. It seems to stem from whether the J is in the 60s or 70s position. If it's in the 70s, i.e. closer to the bridge, the P is 'correct'. If it's in the 60s position, the P pickup is usually shunted closer to the neck to keep the distance between the pups the same. If the J pup is in the 60's position, and the P is 'correct', they'll look noticeably closer together than you'd usually see. IMO, that small amount of shift has a significant impact on the sound of the P pickup.

O ye'll tak' the high road, and I'll tak' the low road...

Hooray.. now I can start that thread on classical mechanics equations I've been itching to kick off... J = N m = kg m2 s−2 Happy days!

Wow.. all them musicians getting paid gigs, and theatres getting bums on seats. Outrageous.

I'd never heard of davie504, nor seen any of his videos. I've just had a quick look, and.... I quite like them. They're well-produced, he's creative, and a good player. Definitely more fun than watching someone play generic slap lick #12 and #567.

Women? Starter for ten: Aretha. Joni. Kate Bush.

Yeah, 'm about to pull the trigger on a new P, so let's see 'em. Especially anthing in LPB.. Out of interest, what sort of weights are the P's coming in at?

Just stalking your Flickr feed now... are they all yours? That Limelight is a beaut..

Wings - the band The Beatles could have been.

Calm down, calm down..

Lonnie Donegan shouldn't be overlooked, either.

Some of the haters, too. They're everywhere :-D

Just got it back following a bit of work by Wilf at Ghost Pickups to refurb the pickup and wiring. It's even better now :-)

It looks to me like you're just trolling now, so I'll be honest and say I can't be bothered to read the rest of your post.

Yes, given that music is more of an art than a science.

Who cares about the chords? What does it sound like? To some people, it's musical Nirvana. To others - me included - it's by-and-large a cacophony. In simple terms, it's a flavour I haven't developed a taste for. Maybe one day I will.

C'mon, you're going to have to do better than that. Why?

But.. who's opinion of the music is right? The people who dismiss it as fast, widdly nonsense? Or the world-renowned musicians? They're both right, of course.

Absolutely. (Big Dylan fan here, btw.)

There's lots of music out there that is theoretically 100% correct, yet still offensive to my ears. Ultimately, how it sounds to the individual, is all about perception and opinion.

It is, really. Anyone can play whatever they like, and call it music. The audience can choose to like it or loathe it.
