Re: What is a chewy pickup ?

I remember an ancient Guitar Player magazine interview with Skunk Baxter, talking about his studio experiences....

He was working a session with Dolly Parton recording Christmas tunes, and when it came time for a solo Dolly asked for something "All green and sparkly". Skunk racked his brain for a time when someone mentioned green or sparkly in reference to his playing (took about a second). So he buckled down and improvised something on the spot, and Dolly supposedly clapped her hands in glee and squealed with delight. Skunk made a mental note for future reference.....

I figure we all eat, so I made references to food when talking about sound (chewy fits right in there). So does sweet, warm, etc. Sometimes our communication skills are so limited, aren't they?

I don't think it's true, but I heard some believe that if you had the right words you could describe color to a blind person.

But I think that's what we're trying to do here.

Some sounds are easy to understand - bright, dark, warm, twangy

Some can be confusing if you're not a guitar player / fan of guitar music - brittle, spanky, boomy, scooped, hairy, crunchy, punchy

Some can be confusing even if you are one - chewy, honky, glassy, throaty, round, woody

Eclairs?

Read about the Eclair set here.

The UOA5-modded '59b resulting inherent tone-footprint is the quintessential definition of "chewy", if you ask me.

Definitely the custom custom. Compressed, warm highs, thick low-mids. As chewy as it gets.

Re: What is a chewy pickup ?

"Chewy" and "rude" are two phrases which should never be used when attempting to describe any sound. They really are far too vague and unintuitive. Indeed, every single person has their own interpretation of what they mean and there's a good reason why you won't find them being used by, for example, a cellist or a hi-fi enthusiast.
