Here's my guesses:

1) crappy Les Paul copy bridge pickup
2) same crappy Les Paul copy bridge pickup
3) same crappy Les Paul copy bridge+neck pickup
4) same crappy Les Paul copy neck pickup
5) same crappy Les Paul copy neck pickup

BTW, when I do a test, I'll have the minimum decency to snap some pics of the test process to prove something happened. I can still theoretically rig the results to fit my desired preference if I were an unscrupulous individual, but at least you'd know I put more than 41 seconds into what I had done.

I have to commend your interactions in this thread. You've asked pertinent questions and the follow-up queries refined the process in which you plan to embark.

:clap:

That was months ago, just after I purchased it...

Just for the record, I find a lot of your post rather insulting and childish!

Once again, we have to ask the question, Does Humor Belong In Internet Forums?

I have science.
You have belief.
You are in the (likely) majority, affirming something exists.
I am in the (likely) minority, asserting its incorrect.
Tonewood agnostics or no-opinion's probably don't get enough acknowledgement and make up more people than either side.

80% of Americans believe Angels exist.
20% believe they do not.

Who is responsible for demonstrating evidence of their stance?
The 20% do their thing by simply pointing out that there is no compelling evidence Angels exist and that the 'evidence' presented is either anecdotal or not credible (for exanmple, pictures of angels, etc) and the fact believers are in the majority is irrelevant. The 80%, well, they look pretty much completely like tonewood believers do, in this discussion.

Someone in the 80% might say "I KNOW ANGELS EXIST BECAUSE ONE VISITS ME EVERY TUESDAY!"

Someone in the 20% might say "OK, I'll bet you $10,000 if you can prove that, you win, if not, you pay me. Let me know the address and I'll be there Tuesday".

"DO YOU HAVE A GAMBLING PROBLEM???? I DON'T NEED TO PROVE IT TO ANYONE!!! I KNOW WHAT IS TRUE!!!! PEOPLE HAVE BELIEVED IN ANGELS FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS! YOU THINK THEY BELIEVE THAT FOR NO REASON????? YOU'RE JUST ARROGANT WITH YOUR SCIENCE I KNOW WHAT IS TRUE ALONG WITH ALL THESE OTHER PEOPLE!!! JOHN B. OZOASS WHO IS A PhD HAS ASSERTED THAT ANGELS ARE PROVEN BY ELECTRO MECHANICAL REPRODUCTION AND THE FLYNN EFFECT!!! SCIENCE SUPPORTS US, NOT YOU!!!"

Believers; LOL.

Too bad he's gone now, but I wanted to post some real numbers for our science discussion that the rest of all you believers are not going to believe. I reread the entire thread from the beginning to put this together.

  • 34 members posted
  • ~25 directly contributed ideas or method proposals for running a valid, controlled scientific experiment
  • Only 4 within the thread ever stated a belief that wood affected tone
  • 2 of those 4 believed the affect would not be consistent enough, or able to be isolated enough, to generalize or predict the affect by species
  • None of those 4 who believed wood affected tone were ever labeled as 'tonewood believers' or attacked as being part of the other 'side'
  • About 9 pages of the first 14 were attacks on people who were actually contributing in support of the topic
  • This list was electromechanically reproduced. So what of it?

Have a good day.

Did you science? You did, didn't you:?:
 
Re: A few specific questions about testing wood influence on tone

Serious question for those with enough motivation to search: did he post anywhere other than in the threads about tonewood?

Back to science.

He did not. At the time I scienced, all 44 of his posts were in this thread. The count has wavered due to various post deletions.

So nobody really disagreed with Tonewoods, and all that back there was a harmonious exchange of thoughts and ideas. I must have just taken it all wrong.

It was an exchange. Calling it harmonious would not be scientific.
 
Re: A few specific questions about testing wood influence on tone

^^ Sometimes people just don't want to deal with it. I am of the belief wood is an important (but minor) part of tone, but couldn't be bothered posting as it degraded very fast.

I think a non-spambot member being banned within a week of joining is a new record.
