most case kalau maple fingerboard...telinga aku akan dgr soun yang bright...in ur case sound muddy/bassy for neck pu mcm pelik gak...cuba check intonation n PU height setting....untuk single coil jangan rapat sgt dgn string...satu lagi...dinamik dlm picking pun actually main peranan dlm single coil tone...


yup bor kozam,

actually memang sepatutnya maple ni sound bright, sebab aku ada satu gitar lagi mustang guna rosewood..mellow soundnye..tambah ngn character pup mustang..memang berbeza..
contoh sound mustang cam lagu2 group Estranged tu..ada parts2 lagu mereka yg memang bunyi mustang rasanya..sebab aku rasa one of their guitarist guna mustang kaler merah..

dan memang cam gitu strat gitar aku punya, cuma bahagian bass strings yg aku rasa abit muddy/bassy.mungkin btul ko cakap string height kat tali bass problemnye..aku akan check balik, sebab aku pun terpikir gak..bab dinamik picking tu aku tinggalkan dulu, aku bukan nye reti goreng sgt, nak aplly technic..nak finger style ke etc...sekadar blues je guna pentatonic..heheheh..malunye saya Embarassed

anyway bro kozam, thanks for ur inputs..appreciates it alot.. Razz

- biasanya tak kisah sangat pasal berapa lebar ir panjang pickup.
- tapi biasanya kita kisah pasal berapa dalam cavity pickup.
- ada pickup yg perlukan lobang cavity yg dalam pasal ini pickup tebal.
- antara pickup yg pernah gua guna dan perlu cavity pickup dalam adalah Duncan dimebuker dan EMG.

oho..maksudnya size dia universal la..cuma part tebal tu je yg kena check..kalu nak masuk pikap tebal kena route lagi la cavity tu ye?

terima kasih pada semua2 otai yang banyak reply pasal pickup ni .. actually gua belum tukar lagi pickup.. masih lagi guna alnico.. kadang- kadang setting pada effect paddle tak berubah tapi amp yang berubah akan membuat perubahan bunyi. LP aku ni kalau masuk kat marshall amp memang aku dapat cari sound yang aku nak... masuk peavey amp aku terkial kial.. masuk roland amp... 50-50 ... macam mana pun terima kasih pada semua.

lagi satu aku ni beginner dalam guitar ni.. apa yang dikatakan dengan setup intonation tu?

intonation tu yg edjas skru kat bridge tuh..kasi panjang/pendek kan scale tali..

kalu not fret 0 ngan fret 12 bunyi lari..baru edjas..

betulkan kalu salah

Aku pakai Jazz/JB dalam Epi LP aku... tapi aku peliklah kenapa korang kata the JB is too bright... The tone I am getting is too dark pulak. Perhaps its the 0.022uf capacitor that i use....Question

I am thinking of brightening it up by changing it to a 0.047uf capacitor.. Do you guys reckon that would work??

Owh...sori..x perasan soalan ni..pada aku...single coil punya character ni klau terlalu dekat dgn string..sound akan jadi too sharp and mudy..lemak dia tak keluar...which sweet tone nyer susah nak achieve..cuba try adjust with distortion/OD and clean....when those come intact..u will get single coil punya sweet tone nyer..anyway...mcm aku tekankan picking dinamik...u xleh picking the same dinamik kat humbucker n single...single coil work better in lot of string vibration supply..tu pun one of the reason aku x setup dekap sgt..takut tali berlaga...kalau salah tolong betulkan...heheh

Akum n hi
im new to this forum (just registered), please to meet you all.

about pickup-
-to me, pickup changes only 20-30% of your entire sound.
-dont trust 100% the PU ads by the manufacturer. The sounds are different
from one to one guitar as well as different rigs.
-Just dont go crazy about pickup, coz later, maybe you will get dissapointed with the result.
-hear the artist you like (and what pickup did he used?this may helpl)
-I play a lot of guitars with different pickups in it..from this we can actually have a basic idea on how a particular pickup behave, responds etc.
(personally, i like a big tone, got 'aah' sound, punchy and not too messy when playing fast leads)
-in my opinion, the most important thing to get ur unique sound is your preamp and amp, yeah pickups are one of the sound chain, but those 2 are more important. e.g i got an Ibz rg550 with a set of dimarzio paf 36th
in it. I tweak the parametric EQ (the essence to get ur sound!) in my podxtl, i can get a clean 'stratier' distorted sounds from it..

-i got dozens of different pickups mainly from
dimarzio. The SD i got only their single coils.
-thanks, this is only my humble opinion, plz correct me if im wrong

p/s there's no absolute/holy grail pickup..just tweak the sound (your dist, comp, eq etc) to its best according to your current rig
Smile

pikap single coil dkt brigde tele gua tu..

treble die mmg meeeowww!!! garang kucing tuh!

tapi midrange n bass mcm...nyorok bawah perut kucing tuh. gua xdpt "feel the presence" pikap tu. but i feel that cat man!! haha!

gua igtkan nk tukar lain...tapi..

tah camne gua tgh cari playar dalam box gua.. ade ternampak pikap
stratocopy jenama ape gua x igt..

gua usha kat bawah pikap tu ade nampak magnet bar..terus gua terpk..

hah!

gua ketuk kasi cabut itu magnet bar. gua amik letak kat bawah bridge pikap tele gua..gua kasi lekat..

lepas tune betol2.. b4 plugin kat amp gua test dgr.. ok.. sound gitar ni camni.. trebly..mid die cukup makan..body sound ade sedap..hehehe..

ok..skrg cucuk kat amp..

pergh! mod yg simple tu tros wat gua suke kat pikap tu! punchy! ade life! slighty creamy.. mcm dpt jantung baru! still retain the old cat cume lebey punchy!

die punye twangg!!..still cun mcm seblomnye.. ade perisa bass n mid lebey sket.. so gua pon x jadi tuka pikap tu.. haha!

ekceli pikap tu from a fender reissue..57 kot tah gua x igt. member gua tolak. asalnye gua so n so je suke kt pikap tu.. tp lepas gua letak magnet bar tu... gua rs kucing tu dah jadik peberet gua! haha

small changes could mean big effect.

gua byk blaja dari internet.. dan jugak brader browndog. tenkiu bro!

anyway, gua rs gitar murah2 ni..cube setup baik2 (intonation, neck angle, etc). pastu wiring die kasik cantik sket.. kalu dpt cloth wire ke.. yg pasti wire baik la kan.. pot.. kalu dpt.. amik fender no load pot.. gua pon carik lagi pot ni.. kt luar je byk.. gua tanye bentley... gua tanye woh fatt.. die tanye gua balik mane nk dpt itu barang? sini tade.. hehe.. x dpt yg cam tu.. alpha ke..ernie ball ke ok gak.. jgn lupa input jack.. hari tu nasib gua terbaik dpt switchcraft RM 11 kat bentley.. kira murah la pada gua sbb cume ade satu.. lain sume xde jenama punye.. hehehe

kdg2 ade gitar murah2 yg sound die mmg dah cun.. tapi pikap die cam bangang... kepeh! kepeh! clean die.. zzzinnggg zzing drive die.. tuka pikap kasik balance die punye sound..hah! dah cun dah! die tgk keadaan la.. tgk diri gak.. suke ape.. main camne.. amp ape.. haih.. bab nk cari sound kat gitar ni.. mcm nak buat pyramid pon ade.. seblom foundation die.. ade bilik2 kat bawah tu nak letak mayat.. harta karun sume.. tu kena pk awal2 nk kasik bentuk sindri punya sound..

bentuk sound??!! tanye brader browndog.. die otai bab ni.. haha!

yg penting 1st time in my life gua enjoy dgn single coil.. huhu!

p/s: pjgnye...Razz

bro kozam,

apa yg ko ckp tu (pickup tinggi dekat sgt ngn tali) memang aku setuju, bila pup neck dekat sgt ngn tali 5,6 akan jadi muddy bila guna od/dist, so aku dah jauhkan. aku ada baca net yg kalu nak punchier tone for lead memang tinggikan pup sehabis buleh, tp kalu nak mellow/warm dan kluar tone body kayu, jauhkan skit neck pup, tp akan kehilangan skit punchier tone tu..tp bule cover bila guna tube amp..ni ada kene mengena dgn penyakit "stratitis"

bro medroed,

apa yg ko buat?..ko lekatkan bar magnet kat bawah pup ko? cukup ke kedalaman cavity tu? ko bubuh kat dua2 pup? camna rupenye? apa penjelasan dari sudut zahirnya bila ko buat cenggitu?..menarik nih!!!
