As high capacitance cables also tend to increase the Q factor of passive pickups, the Super D through a coily or super long / highly...

In Area's, signal coil and bottom noise cancelling bobbin are asymetrical. This mismatching causes a comb filtering effect present with...

Well, it was a simple question of height and tone settings, so. Glad for you if it works... The good thing being that a simple...

If the tone cap is of standard value and the tone pot correctly wired, this behaviour is typical of a damaged wiring or pickup. The...

To repeat my usual stance in such cases: the sound of any passive pickup is largely defined by external factors. *Differences due to...

That's 470 or 560 KILO Ohm. A 470k resistor in parallel with a 500k pot changes it virtually in a 242.26k pot. A 560k resistor sets its...

Put the 500k volume in today. I think with the tone disconnected and the 500k volume the SD sounds good now. The singles are a hair...

Yes, N & B PU's can be voiced for their respective positions but again, it's not a necessity and it has nothing to do with price. The...

Yes it might be half decent and even decent or great: albeit quality is random with such products, some knockoffs are really good...

BTW: I'd try first the bridge PU with the 500k volume but also with the tone control disconnected (or changed in a no load pot. it's...

Yep, trembuckers do a small difference in measured specs and tone. But negligible.

Yes, physics tells us that a narrower / smaller coil tends to give less inductance: that's where "coil geometry" / winding tension /...

The safest way to know if it's a bridge model or not would be to measure its inductance rather than its DCR - albeit even that is...

+/- 9% of tolerance around an average value of 7.5k give a potential maximum reading of 8.1k... And a higher resistance doesn't always...

Putting .022, .047 and .015 in series would start to do something with a total capacitance of .0075. The twice higher .015 alone might...
