Hey Folks,
I'm new to the electric world... and only 8 months into the guitar world. I'm trying to sort out this whole single coil vs. Humbucker issue. Right now I'm looking at a Hamer Newport that has the Phat Cat Pups on it. My question: do these pick-ups really cancell out the "hum" single coils are prone to having. I'm a little shaddy on this... but the hum normally associated with single coils is produced by external electromagnatic field... such as those caused by computers... right? So, theoretically the phat cats on the Hamers make it a non-issue.
Also, if some could add in some dumified descriptions of single versus humbucker sound, that would be great. Can you have one of each kind of pick-up? If so, what happens then?
Thanks!
