SzunaP Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Is the black one also a PU? Or just a ramp? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sly83 Posted February 27, 2020 Author Share Posted February 27, 2020 Yes, Black one is a ramp and 3 others are pickups (Jazz-Precision-Humbucker). But for all these 4 you can choose any position in the 3 existing slots). Added to parametrical 3 bands East Preamp, solutions are almost infinite👽 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SzunaP Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 One more thing: how can you recognize which type of PU are there? They seem to have identical wood cover. Or maybe on their back are there some signs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sly83 Posted March 22, 2020 Author Share Posted March 22, 2020 Yes you are right. They are markers and crosses (up and down way) on the back to show wich pickup it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
