- Today I'm comparing and contrasting the humbucker and single coil sounds on a telecaster-style guitar. I'll describe each pickup and what it's function is, as well as give a sound test for each (and a third option at the end *wink wink*).
00:00-01:38: Overview of pickups
01:38-04:10: Single coil sound test
04:11-07:05: Humbucker sound test
07:06-09:45: The "middle ground" pickup
09:46-10:05: Outro
Thanks to John Page Contraband for the drum loops in this video. - เพลง
All the guitars sounded great. The biggest difference in sound to me was at the 5:00 minute mark with the custom tele. When you started playing those heavy chords over a fast beat that humbucker really starts putting in some work to fill lots of sonic space. Great video dude!
Thanks man!
All good. I think the single coils the way to go because with technology these days I can easily fatten the single coils and they cut through heavy distortion well where as it's harder to thin out an already fat tone, imo.
Totally agree. The humbucker sounds a bit too wooly as well.
Great video and demonstration. Thanks for taking the time to put this out!
Thanks Paul!
Dude what? You’re comparing a Squire single coil and Fender humbucker?
Also, I appreciate you’re content.
Nice picture of Paul Bearer in the back there!
What kind of telecaster is that? I’m trying to make/ partcaster a similar one humbucker telecaster almost exactly like that (ala Laura Grace nash tele)
Nice, I have that same Squier Bullet.. great video man!
Thank you!
I think all three pickups have their place in music for sure. Guitars and pickups are like paint colors for songs. One song might sound awesome with the rawness of the single coil, but there's no denying the all out attack of a humbucker. But, a P-90 just has an attitude at all times that the other cannot come close to.
I was definitely a little surprised at the bite of the P-90, it's a rocker for sure.
@@ZackRyan When I get my other Rickenbacker squared away, you should do a pickup shootout between them. Rickenbacker Hi-Gains (Black Guitar) vs. Vintage Rickenbacker Toasters (Natural Guitar)... And not play Beatles songs like every other Rickenbacker video on TH-cam.
I'm down!
@@ZackRyan I Had A PRS with P-90's for years, even though I'm generally a shred guy and now I play a Telecaster
That’s why I just got myself a Les Paul Jr.
Good to see someone playing some Punk rawk 🤘. Humbuckers for the distortion. Singles for clean imo.
Why are there two selector switches on the Fender if there's only one pickup?
The switch on the top is a killswitch, and the pickup "selector" splits the humbucker for a more single coil type sound.
what humbucker was it
Tele with single coil and a hambucker is the definitive guitar.
All this Paul Bearer talk but no love for the Larry arms?!?!
Sorry but single coils on a Tele will always get my vote.....
There is only one telecaster sound and that it single coil. Anything else is not a telecaster. And that humbucker guitar sounded like warmed up puke.
100%
Let’s be real: The Telecaster at least that one) is all about the looks and not the sound. That just sounded wooley as hell.
Heh heh NOFX
dude... just stumbled on to your channel. I gotta say the Paul Bearer FRAMED picture = INSTA- SUB!! Lets go!!
