I was mistaken jimmy has them in a jazzmaster, the school days clip is regular imperials. as far as output and clarity the video explains that. they would work in a lapsteel.
Great thanks! Also, how do you think these would work in a lap steel? Is there enough output and clarity?
we havent had time to make one but Luther Dickenson has a set I think in his red 335 and jimmy herring has a set in his strat running buckers but you would have to find something recent like in the last 6 to 8 months. I believe there is a fairly good quality clip on youtube of jimmy sitting in with return to forever and i know i saw one of luther but I couldnt find either right now.. i think the jimmy clip is them doing school days- they are laughing cause jimmy nails the head
This was educational and interesting. Do you happen to have a (or know of) a quality sound demo of these pups? I can only find one fellow who has put them in a Les Paul but the sound was not great.
Also, how do you think these would work in a lap steel? Is there enough output and clarity?
yes that should work just fine
I assume this will play nicely with your Single-coil for Humbucker Pickup. I was wanting the El Rayo for the bridge and the other for the neck.
If there was a Jazz Bass pup that did this 6:43 - 6:53 i would be all over it! Can it be done?
no sense going over peoples heads! thanks. If you have original PAFs I wouldnt touch the guitar or even a little later T tops with the patent sticker sound good. If you have the 490 series or burstbuckers or 57 classics the el rayo is going to have come through a mix easier and have more dynamic range.
Nice analogies for people like me. You could have easily gone over my head, but you didn't, that's cool.
The only pickups I have listened closely to are the standard pickups in my Les Paul. i like to rock with my bridge pickup, but I also like a boosted clean sound with a little bit of bite for playing some blues with my neck pickup. Do you think I would be pleasantly surprised with a different set of pickups?
A8! I had no idea there were so many Alnico formulations!
Thanks! As soon as the pickup gets listed on my site we should have soundfiles at the same time.
Lollar rocks, I have an excellent set of Blackfaces. Give us a sound clip of these new humbuggies! And yes, Seattle looks like it's going to rain any minute now., :)
