Buzz Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 (edited) This is a bit of an odd one, I just added a j-pup cover to a my Squire VMJ, plugged it in, and it's seems that it's outputting a much darker sound. Just posing the question as to if this is physically possible, or just my ears having an odd day? (Note: Not changed settings etc from yesterday, not done anything else but drill the holes, fit the cover and put some schaller strap locks on the bass) Edited July 3, 2007 by Buzz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 (edited) I'm not sure if the cover itself has a direct effect on sound or not, but it could be that your right hand position and/or technique is different with the cover on.

Buzz Posted July 5, 2007 Author Share Posted July 5, 2007 Well, yes, technically my hand position is different, but it's more towards the bridge pup which wouldn't make it darker. Which is why it's oddly confusing me. Not entirely bothered though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevebasshead Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 The cover might be having a small effect reshaping the magnetic field generated by the pickup maybe ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingrayfan Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 It'll be the strap locks then. ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jay249 Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 it's the wet weather, do you have the tone knob the same as usual? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
