Ou7shined

Oh dear. Fair enough the bridge pup (if a little close bridge wise) but that neck J is only half the job.

I wonder if you still get those Artec pre's on ebay? They are pretty cheap (sub £30) and some say they do a good job. You get 2 or 3 band EQs. If you want something a bit more up market, OPB-3.

What a shado.

Holy crap Michael.

Just say it in a broad Aberdeen accent, it comes out as "swunky".

Sick.

Sweet. Sort of Stuart Zender type bass line.

[quote name='mcnach' post='951903' date='Sep 10 2010, 03:11 PM']ask 20 bassists this question, and you'll get 24 different answers how do you measure that? [b]I'd say no. Prices work on a geometric progression while quality works on an arithmetic one. Or something.[/b] I refuse to pick a number, but if I did it'd be a lot lower than that quoted by my learned friend Ou7shined [/quote] I like the sound of that. I'll just go get my abacus and slide rule and I'll be back with a more accurate answer. Oh it turns out that they are 47.3895 x better. A thought started forming in my mind while typing that rather crap joke.... If I offered you a OLP for your ray (level playing field - both basses have had let's say 3-4 previous owners) Strange condition to the trade, you must keep the bass for 2 years. Would you take it? If I offered you 2 OLPs for your ray (same conditions) would you shake hands? How many used OLPs before you trade? That's the amount right there of how much better they are.

I built my own.

Not really a bargain price though.

[quote name='walbassist' post='950297' date='Sep 9 2010, 09:43 AM']I have played two Foderas. Both were nicely put together but didn't really sound that special....[/quote] Well yeah if that first clip is anything to go by. It sounds like a Les Paul going through a harmonic destroying flappy fart filter with a touch of mud octave. Too harsh?

Yep pretty darned close.

It's not as simple as that. The resistance reading comes from the the amount of wire used (turns) the more turns the more voltage is produce and therefore a hotter signal output. In actual fact the Ohms reading is only a ballpark figure for the pup's output as there are other factors that come into play like inductance which is based around magnet strength. Like you say it is a black art.

One of the pitfalls of bunging unmatched pups into the same project is when one overpowers the other to such an extent that you get no smooth balance adjustment between them - they are effectively either on or off. Measure the Ohms of your Model One and use that as a starting point to find a suitable mate for it. I'm guessing an Ultra J might cop it... just guessing like.
