California 50s set compared to...

Re: California 50s set compared to...

I'm whatever you want to make me out to be. If you can't appreciate the tone of a noiseless pickup then don't use one. I honestly believe it's a psychological hangup, not unlike guys who think they can tell what brand of battery someone else is using in their TS-808.

The point is in the first post. I had the tamarity to suggest a 14 year old who wants a hotter than vintage bridge pickup might not like hum and recommend a noiseless pickup and then stones started flying.

How on earth have I contradicted myself?

No you didn't. This was your first interjection .

Does Gilmour even use the SSL-5 anymore? I'm not sure he even ever used an SSL-1.

Okay he hadn't really thought about noiseless strat pickups at all and he had not been bothered by the hum on traditional strats he played. He said: "can you have both?" I told him to go with the ssl1's as my first recommendation but I think the Classics Plus can be switched to true coils or noiseless so to check those out as well.
