  • @TheDmonet
    @TheDmonet 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Great comparison. Of course the scientific method of really comparing them would be to have them all in the same guitar same bridge configuration same wood same type of neck joint, etc. could probably most easily do this with a HSS strat or tele deluxe by just swapping pickguards out. In this comparison the strat trem and set neck/tune o-matic bridge hollow body shorter scale gibson throw a lot of things into the equation that could affect tone. The pickup is the single biggest factor so you are 90% of the way there with this video. All sound good and all have their uses.

  • @kimwirzenius9955
    @kimwirzenius9955 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    What's your take on using guitars that have different output on a gig? When playing with a medium overdrive sound it's all good, you just get different amounts of gain with roughly the same volume. It's the clean sound that is often problematic, because with hotter pickup it obviously is much louder in volume, which will cause problems balance vise. There's of course a volume pot in every guitar, but very often (at least for me) the sound and part has to change so quick that I don't have the time to adjust my volume every time I kick an overdrive pedal off. I've been thinking that if I want the most out of my guitars, excluding a couple special use instruments I should just use pickups that are in the same ballpark regarding output. Right now I sort of have pairs of guitars with the same kind of output, that I know I can switch during a gig knowing it doesn't cause imbalance with the clean sound.

    • @ShawnTubbs
      @ShawnTubbs  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes, that's a booger of an issue. In general, I try to choose lower output humbuckers and slightly higher output singles. For instance, if I was taking a strat and an LP I'd go with Lollar Drty blonde single coils for the strat and Lollar imperial low winds for the LP.

    • @kimwirzenius9955
      @kimwirzenius9955 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@ShawnTubbs Yeah, that's the only good solution I've found. I tried using a pedal to even out the levels of different guitars but found I didn't like the sound of many guitars when tampered down (or up). Shame, because although lower output pickups generally sound better, there are few high output pickups that are stunning, for example the Wolfgang bridge pickup. :-/

    P90s are so underrated/ underused. There is such warmth, bite, and growl. I have a Gretsch electromatic 5420 with filtertrons and my next buy is definitely going to be a P90 guitar. Mostly likely the tv yellow Epiphone Les Paul special.

    • @ShawnTubbs
      @ShawnTubbs  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes, I used the OX 4x12 punch cabinet with an R121 and 57 mic combo. I can see your point but when focusing on the character differences between the pickups and not solely on the sound of the individual, the cab and mic and even amp is less important. The character differences would remain the same regardless. I would certainly be more apt to point out the amp, cab type, speaker type, and mics if I were demoing one specific pickup model.

  • @frantisca
    @frantisca 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Thanks Shawn: what great tones ! IMO just too bad the amp was cranked just a tad too much, as all pickups had quite a close breakup sound when wide open. Ideally, it would have been nice to hear a clean sound kinda pure and use the overdrive to hear some crunch... but alright, always nice to hear you and watch those beauties produce such nice tones :) Keep em' coming !

    So, you mentioned that you took your PRS DGT over the other guitars. I don’t want to put you in a weird position but do you think the DGT covers more ground than the others as an overall Swiss Army...er, guitar?

    • @ShawnTubbs
      @ShawnTubbs  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The DGT covers a ton of ground! Very versatile guitar!

    Hi Shawnn...do you use any guitar with active pickups?? Pros?? Cons??

    • @ShawnTubbs
      @ShawnTubbs  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I'm not a big fan of active pickups but I've heard players get some super legit tones out of them.

    How do you bot have loads of 60 cycle hum with those Lollar singles? Even with the overdrive on....

    • @ShawnTubbs
      @ShawnTubbs  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      I do have some field hum issues with my singles but I do my best to turn out of them.

    Hi!
    What are the settings on your hedgehog? Are you using the dumble cab in the ox?
    Great demo!!!!

    • @ShawnTubbs
      @ShawnTubbs  6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I've already moved the settings on the Hedgehog but I think I had the bass on 4, mid 5, treble 6, volume 5 and master level on 5. No panel switches engaged. I used the 4x12 punch cab on the OX. Thanks for watching!

    They all sound great in their own way. I don't get the comparisons other than someone's personal choice for his or her particular sound that they want to express. On the other hand, if I could only have one of these guitars and pickups, I would go with the P-90s. But that doesn't mean the other ones are inferior. P-90s are just "my" favorite. That is why I like to own more than one guitar and have them all having different types of pickups, and "sounds." A color palette of quality guitars and quality pickups are just great when recording on a personal DAW, such as Protools.

    Why is there no hum? I'm assuming that the non-humbucking pickup are true single coils, and you don't list a noise gate in the signal chain. I love single coils but the hum drives me crazy.

    • @ShawnTubbs
      @ShawnTubbs  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      There's hum for sure, but I turn out of it as best I can.

    Awesome demo!! Have you ever tried the Fishman Fluence line of active pickups? If so, any thoughts? I' also love to hear your thoughts on the Railhammer pickups in Reverend guitars if you've had the chance to play them.

    • @ShawnTubbs
      @ShawnTubbs  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The Fishman Fluence and the Railhammer pickups are new to me. I've not played the Fluence pickups but I've heard them and the sound nice to me.
