HOW MUCH DO HUMBUCKER MODELS CONTRIBUTE TO TONE?...
To address this issue, I play 4 different hb models (with some very classic 80s riffs that correspond to these models) on cheap gtrs & gear, all knobs set on 5, SAME SETTINGS FOR EACH PICKUP IN ONE UNINTERRUPTED UNEDITED TAKE, in hopes of highlighting how much each model by itself significantly contributes to each wellknown gtr tone.
The models are 1.PearlyGates A8 2.Dmz SuprD 3.Ant hb 4.JB
I know this might be preaching to the converted. Ever since my first JB, I've become a pickup junkie. However it still puzzles me hugely when guitarists I know belabor decisions over what plug-in or pedal to get, but for some reason haven't bothered to upgrade to a decent or appropriate pickup. To the extent these riffs harken to the original tone even slightly, I hope to convert some heathens who still happen to be using subpar pickups.
I would very much enjoy your objective reviews. Thanks for watching!
