Where can I listen to the entire SD pickup range in one location?

[mpearson67]

Hey guys, I'm narrowing down what sounds I like and the equipment that makes them (I'm basically a Tele/Stat/Champ/reverb junkie). I research the crap out of stuff on YouTube and websites, but I just don't trust the sound coming out my laptop when it comes time to place the order. For example, I recently got to try three different Champs and two Princeton's in one setting. Within an hour I zeroed in on exactly what I wanted (a 5F1). Is there one location where I can hear the entire SB pickup line for Strats and Teles? Thank you!

Welcome to the forum!

SD doesn't have a single location for all clips (that I'm aware of), but you can find a clip under each pickup you are interested in.

Otherwise, a member here (@jolly) did a series of clips using certain models of SDs (and some other pickups) and posted them on a Soundcloud account here. (Scroll down to get to the SD ones)

although, no clip library will solve the issue if you can't trust the sound coming out of your laptop. For that, hearing the clips and talking with guys here that actually have used the pickups in their guitars and various amps and getting their description of the good and the bad or what exactly they sound like in the room would be important, if you can't trust the clips alone.

Thank you so much, beaubrummels! I dug out some ancient Logitech speakers to plug into my laptop. Hopefully that will also help. ​
