Re: Fender Big Dipper pickups
but how they get that scooped mid-range out of a pickup?
Thats just Marketing -- ya can't leave the bass and the highs intact and dump the mids..--
John is using two 100 watt custom amps with the scooped mids and a fender amp sets between those two and that adds the mid sound he likes--basicially hes using Weak DC pups.
He would have to raise the bass side of the pup up under the strings to add bass and keep the other side away from the strings.
the amps and FX would have to do the rest-
You simply cannot pull the mids out of a single coil and leave behind the bass cause the bass is going to go too-- ..
It was a marketing genuis that was suggesting his sound is that of scopped mid's "Big Dippers" lalalalla! and so forth -- but in the real world its just low DC's doin the job and a pickup height adjsutment and amps doing the rest.
Marketing Genuises -- forget some of us talk on the internet -- and we figure out every nook and cranny there is-- and they think they can create new terms for pickups/amps/guitars.. that arent nessarally ture --
I see it all over the map!
John wants to be known for his scooped sound -- making guys think if they buy this guitar with Big Dippers then they too will have it-- is partially true -- but not completely.
