Cosmo Valdemar Posted May 8, 2015 Author Share Posted May 8, 2015 [quote name='Meddle' timestamp='1431106106' post='2767901'] I disagree with the notion that 'only a Rick sounds like a Rick', because most Ricks don't sound like Ricks either. :rolleyes [/quote] The whole point of the thread was to light-heartedly debunk this 'myth'. And to share some cool music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Apple Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 [quote name='Meddle' timestamp='1431107724' post='2767926'] Most people go for the bypass mod for some reason, including the Rickenbacker purists. I guess the idea is that you should have the full output of both pickups to do what you like with, [/quote] Full output maybe, but it loudened the bridge pup way over the neck and the whole thing became unbalanced.

spectoremg Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 (edited) Interesting stuff about pickup placement - particularly where the 24th fret would be. I've always thought Ricks were good at producing the fundamental - is that a product of it? And are the harmonic positions somewhere to avoid?

Cosmo Valdemar Posted May 8, 2015 Author Share Posted May 8, 2015 (edited) [quote name='Meddle' timestamp='1431109101' post='2767953'] Fair shout, just throwing in some techy stuff I've come across that people may (or probably won't) find interesting and/or useful if they are trying to chase tones. [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7IcTOnIfmOY"]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7IcTOnIfmOY[/url] [/quote] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7IcTOnIfmOY"]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7IcTOnIfmOY That sounds fantastic! Contains infuriatingly little information though - apparently a jazz pickup hidden under the scratchplate? Why aren't we all hiding jazz pickups in our Precision basses?!

[/quote] considering that as you fret different notes, the nodes will shift too, I don't think that plays a role. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
