    Caps

    Man, those are some rusty caps. I'd give em a shot. 22nf is a good value.

    Neck Humbucker that's not glassy/hollow sounding (for strat)?

    The Whole lotta humbucker has the most crunch and isn't glassy or hollow like many in the line. You can also try A9 in the neck for more grit.

    Uneven Bass Volume

    The D string has the highest tension. Maybe it's more punchy when amplified for some reason.

    A3 vs A2

    A2 and A3 will respond differently to changes in the volume knob with gain, but it would be a complex combinatorial and hard to predict. The clean characteristics are A3 has about the same amount of mids as A2, but has less output, less bass, and is a bit snappier. So A2 bridge A3 neck is a...

    What's what?

    It's actually the same as guitar. Pickups towards the neck will be fatter and towards the bridge will be growlier. The catch is although everyone hates middle pickups, the P bass is the most legendary middle pickup of all time! It's harder to parse what bass pickups do because the bass designs...

    35th Anniversay JB? RCA5? Blackened JB?

    Yep, A4 does round the raunchy top. It tempers and evens the entire range. So it does what you want with the bass, but not with the top end.

    35th Anniversay JB? RCA5? Blackened JB?

    I guess that's a no.

    35th Anniversay JB? RCA5? Blackened JB?

    Do you use A4? A4 does exactly that. I usually don't like A4 because it's too stiff, but the JB is so chewy that the evening and firming effect doesn't take over. It focuses the low end and the rest of the range without making it too stiff. Ends up quite balanced, which is strange for the JB. 😅

    35th Anniversay JB? RCA5? Blackened JB?

    RCA5 is a good idea. A4 seemed to really tighten everything also when I tried it.

    So, talking to AI about pickups...

    Not an understatement. People be sayin 'bot bad' makes you not think, if it gets some info wrong it's worse than people who are only wrong except for outliers. The proportion of the economy dependent on AI isn't large enough to cause a significant recession comparable to the .com bubble or 08...

    That's what I mean. The future we are in now compared to when Terminator came out in 84. Reese's time during the war of the machines is set in 2029.

    Yeah but they got it backwards. In the future the humans are malevolent and the bots are benevolent. :P

    So, talking to AI about pickups...

    See it's on to the right idea, but doesn't fully understand. You have to teach it the further parameters, not condemn it for making 1 mistake and then say it sux. Tell it the 59 has a lot of bass so is in the wrong direction, and A2 also can make it swampy. So generally you'll be looking for low...

    Seymour Duncan Announces The Duff McKagan Signature PJ Pickup Set!

    He sounds solid af. It's rawking. Yep. Funny because you could just wire that with no knobs or switches, have the pups direct to the jack with a 250k resistor plus a cap behind it to simulate the tone knob, and another 250k resistor to simulate the volume knob. But he probably wants the cool...
