Re: Shoud we have a pickups review thread/forum?
You might think this is just about arguing on the internet, but I really do want more technical details to be provided so that we can make more informed purchase decisions. I have already bought maybe twenty Seymour Duncan pickup models over the years, but there are still dozens more I haven't tried, and my means of deciding which to my next are as crude as ever. There are a number of pickups I'm interested in such as the SSL-3, the APS-1, or the Five-Two, but I'm reluctant to take a gamble on them. If I could, for example, see the technical extent to which the APS-1 differs from the SSL-1, or how the SSL-3 differs from the SSL-5, I would have greater confidence in the purchase and more willingness to reach for my credit card. Over time, I'd have a better understanding of how the different component types contribute to the final tone, and I could hopefully never buy a pickup I end up disliking ever again.
If you come along and offer logically faulty statements as to why my request should be denied, obviously I'm going to come to my own defense.
