I know this isn't what I typically write like, but I believe tone pot capacitors sound different by type, and not strictly by what they...

If the question is "How well would it emulate old caps?", I'd reply: well enough to have inspired the Greasebucket circuit to Fender...

A traditionally made Jazzmaster PU measures half the inductance of a P90, for the record. Rod magnets also give a much stronger...

they just look similar to a p90 a bit, but they sound quite different. they can sound great for both clean and dirty tones. short...

Below is an example of that. Raw resonant peak and phase response of a P90 with tone pot full up (black lines) then set @ 0 with...

Most of my good bean .022s I used up on amps. Most of what I got are .01 and .047

I'll have to find where I've read that the "Greasebucket" Fender circuit was inspired by old paper in wax caps that age had made...

With treasures like this in the drawer you should invest in a multimeter with capacitance reading.

If they haven't drifted, yes. But old PIO / paper in wax caps often tend to exhibit a higher capacitance than announced. Now, some also...

Since I have also a P90 sized Super Distortion here, I'll check its magnet if time permits (and if I find the courage to dismantle this...

I've pulled off and put back such slugs a couple of times. TBH, I don't remember if it was difficult or not but at least, far memories...

For the record, airing a pickup doesn't suffice to change a magnetic alloy in another one. An "aired" A5 reacts partly like a degaussed...

Okay now I get it.. I've never been able to get inductance to work with my plumbing metaphor for electronics :-) Thanks as always!

I'll have to watch again the video but doesn't it happen when he connects the wires in humbucking mode? I'd expect a drop in inductance...
