jmsjabb Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Hi Subjective question. Can someone tell me what type of sound each of these configs sound like in, say an Ash Corvette $$ P/J J/MM J?J J/TJ Ideally I would like an idea of clarity, warmth and usability. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoffbyrne Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 eeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr......................................NO! Seriously, amp? Cab? Strings? Everything depends on everything else......as they say. G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmsjabb Posted February 24, 2010 Author Share Posted February 24, 2010 Ignore the amp / cab thing. Take it as pure nothing added / taken away amplification / sound pre amplification. I know strings will have an effect, but I just wanted someone's take on the different pups. Say someone who has all and plays through a clean natural amp.

dub Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 (edited) The J single coils will have more top end when compared to the P humbuckers, which will have more mid. The MM can be wired either as two parallel single coils (bright) or one humbucker (higher output, more low mid less top). The P and the MM are hum canceling which is recommended, as in most situations these days there is a lot of electromagnetic interference everywhere. If you go for two J pickups then get a hum canceling pair or get something like a hum cancelling single nordstrand J to combine with something else. The position of the pickups makes a big difference, near the bridge more attack, top and hi mid, near the neck softer attack and more low mid and bass. Check out the lakland site they have an excellent audio comparison of pickups [url="http://www.lakland.com/audio.htm"]http://www.lakland.com/audio.htm[/url] Edited February 25, 2010 by dub Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
