naxos10 Posted May 1, 2018 Posted May 1, 2018 Looking at a new short scale ACG with a PB pickup, could anybody tell me the differences in sound between the two magnet types? If you have a preferences for one or the other I would be glad to hear them. Quote
ead Posted May 2, 2018 Posted May 2, 2018 I always ask Alan for Alnico now as I prefer that sound, to my ears a bit warmer. Quote
naxos10 Posted May 2, 2018 Author Posted May 2, 2018 Thanks ead, Is the tone range pretty wide from the Alnico version? Quote
ead Posted May 2, 2018 Posted May 2, 2018 Definitely. I don't have one 'in stock' atm so it's all from memory. The other cool option (if it's allowed) is an RFB with series/parallel switch. Quote
naxos10 Posted May 2, 2018 Author Posted May 2, 2018 (edited) As you know ead this is for that passive TKO. I looked at the RFB on Alan's website but it does not look like he has included for the switch on the bass. Edited May 2, 2018 by naxos10 Quote
ead Posted May 2, 2018 Posted May 2, 2018 Sorry, I forgot that minor detail :-( In which case I'd personally go Alnico. Quote
naxos10 Posted May 2, 2018 Author Posted May 2, 2018 I think you may be right (as always) I can add extra or less distortion/modern sound via the DHA VT1 pedal and Ashdown Retroglide amp (via Barefaced Retro Two10). Quote
