id info for livewire pickups

[seventhson]

For the single coils how do you tell the diff between Classic and Hot?

For the humbuckers how do you tell the diff between the Classic and Metal?

I did do a search and saw the advice to compare with the sound clips, but when these pop up on eBay, that's not really an option. Any visible clues that I could give the seller to figure out which Live Wire pick up he has?

Nah, I wasn't talking about your auction, but thanks.

I thought it might be fun to put this set into a guitar for a $100, but only if the HSS set were metal/hot/hot (or maybe metal/hot/classic). Of course, the seller didn't know, and I really couldn't coach him on what to look for. Also, if I didn't like them and needed to flip them, I didn't want to be in a position where I didn't know what I was selling either.

Hm, you'll only find out, if you try them.

These are my live wires, except the live wire classic single Coils i have the all.

Look at the back side, the Humbuckers have stand "bridge" and "Neck"; also the single-coils - you can separate them, because the bridge pickup has other caps, etc... than the middle/neck model. That's the way how I can id them.
But you are right! It's hard to id them, you have no logo like the EMG's (gold, silver...)
It would be nice to hear an opinion from someone from Duncan.

Re: id info for livewire pickups

LoL :laugh2: My descritpion of the live wire metal (translated with google)

Sell a used active Seymour Duncan Live Wire Metal Bridge Humbucker, which was Pickup originally white and is with Edding black angemalt. If needs, I can attach socket, battery tie-clip and copy of a description. (with a resistance it can be attached also to normal 500kohm potentiometer - these do not need to be replaced thus) sound? This Humbucker has the highest output and is the loudest Pickup it probably gives! With more easily distortion it already supplies a classical Metal clay/tone. Who looks for thus a sound of roaring without end, is here in the best way served! The word "clean" is naturally strange for it. I sell still another another used Live Wire (Neck) to Humbucker, which fits for this, as well as a Live Wire hot set with those the Pickup well to combine leave myself. And a new Live Wire Classic Bridge Humbucker (with accessories), which can supplement these here as Neck Humbucker.

:laugh2:

Re: id info for livewire pickups

:laugh2: ROFL This is the translation from english back to german and then back to english again: :laugh2: :laugh2: :laugh2:

Sell a used active line-metal-bridge Humbucker Seymour Duncan phases, which the white admission angemalt originally being and with black Edding is. If necessities, I can attach verge, battery binding tie-clip and copy of a clay/tone of the description (with a resistance it can not need these to the potentiometer of the normal 500kohm also to be attached -, therefore to be replaced)? This Humbucker has the highest exit and is the loudest admission, which he probably gives! Also easily distortion supplies it already a classical metal clay/tone. Who looks therefore for a clay/tone of roaring without end, is here in the best served way! The word ", which is clean ", is for it naturally strangely. I sell still another another other used phase line (beginning) at Humbucker, which fits for this, as well as a hot set of the phase line with those the admission well, around vacation to combine. And a classical bridge Humbucker of the new phase line (with accessory equipment), which can supplement these here as beginning Humbucker.

and here again, for some who understand german:

Verkaufen Sie eine benutzte aktive leitungs-Metallbrücke Humbucker Seymour Duncan Phasen, die die weiße Aufnahme ursprünglich war- und mit schwarzem angemalt Edding ist. Wenn Notwendigkeiten, ich Einfaßung anbringen können, BatterieBindenclip und Kopie eines Tones der Beschreibung (mit einem Widerstand kann er zum Potentiometer des Normal 500kohm auch angebracht werden - diese nicht brauchen, folglich ersetzt zu werden)? Dieses Humbucker hat den höchsten Ausgang und ist die lauteste Aufnahme, die er vermutlich gibt! Mit leicht Verzerrung liefert es bereits ein klassisches Metall clay/tone. Wer folglich nach einem Ton des Brüllens ohne Ende sucht, ist hier in der besten gedienten Weise! Das Wort ", das sauber ist ", ist für es natürlich merkwürdig. Ich verkaufe noch eine anderen andere benutzte Phasenleitung (Ansatz) an Humbucker, das für dieses paßt, sowie ein heißer Satz der Phasenleitung mit denen die Aufnahme gut, um Urlaub zu kombinieren selbst. Und eine klassische Brücke Humbucker der neuen Phasenleitung (mit Zusatzgeräten), die diese als Ansatz Humbucker hier ergänzen kann.

sorry, but this is too funny, that i have to post this :laugh2: :laugh2: :laugh2:
