So, how do you get your pups so close to the strings?

Re: So, how do you get your pups so close to the strings?

why would you want to have pups as high as possible?

thats going to produce a lot of "wavy" tones...not good!

I wouldn't want them as high as possible, but now I can have them as high as I want and still have my action the way I like it.

Why higher? I just put them at the (minimum) distance from the strings that the SD installation guide recommends (or lower, i.e. farther away). I've never had issues. If you get the pickups too close to the strings, you get a distorted sound, and likewise if they're too far away you get lack of definition, etc. I have a web page on how to adjust them without needing a ruler, in case you're interested....

Thanks for the link but I havent got any US coins, and I just set it up by ear anyway
