I still use these amps today in 2024.

Great info! I think the Jazzmaster sounds better than the Jag, except maybe the surf sound with the cut switch or mute.

Found one on marketplace near me for 200 bucks. Great review man

Vaughn I am about to create some Hopefully Magical Wiring to inspire and get most out of your pickups using a KingTone Switch, they have a SRV & Classic set that change resistance in circuit and give you different tonal ranges, it also allows for a Bypass and Treble bleed that has up to 16 settings. I plan on using this with the Historic 64 STRAT SET in Strat and with Velvet Tele set in a 96 50th Anniv Telecaster. Once can complete all wiring, troubleshoot circuits and dial in Treble bleed we will try to generate some sound samples so others can see the Wonders created in Your Shop

Wow, I didn't know they had guitars on the International Space Station!

Trying to decide between these two for my HRD. The Q sounds more spanky and percussive to my ears. I just wish he had switched between pickups though!

Now I know why Alnico 5 pickups sounds so trebly and penetrating bright. I hate it. Thanks for this great video.

So....how else can i approximately match output of 3 different pickups if resistance has nothing to do with it? I am desperately trying to match H-S-P90 all dual coil. my humbucker is 13 ohms parallel, my singlecoil 9 ohms parallel, my p-90 is 32 ohms parallel. So.......i am considering running my P-90 in series to get the resistance down, so that has nothing to do with balancing (the best i can) the output? Completely confused by lots of counterintuitive information here on YT😳. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.🙏tks, tim

excellent work sir..imo

Can i ask what your back ground in electronics is. Resistance can give you an idea of if a pickup is what we call high output or low out just as inductance can also tell us things. Using your theory inductance is useless also and you ust proved that you measured the inductance and got reading (X) then you removed a couple magnetic poles and got reading (Y) however putting that pickup back in with 3 magnets missing the pickup wont work like it should. What would be better if you dont want to trust the pickup manufacture would be to buy a book on electronics and actually learning the theory behind everything you take into acount. Because can you tell me what measuring the inductance means as far as the tone and output of the pickup. Of you can you sure didnt say it here however if a pickup is in working order and it reads 8k resistance and then you grab a second pickup and it reads 15k resistance you do know that one will be more output than the other and one will be darker than the other in tetms of treble response. Will the resistance tell you if your going to like the tone of the pickup? No but it will give you an idea if the pickup is what the guitar world refears to as high output or low out. If you can explain how inductance relates to the sound of the puckup please do, the only thing you just proved was inductance changes as you remove parts of the pickup and resistance doesnt. That doesnt help at all when trying to figure out if you might be in the ballpark of what you like from a pickup.

The man is a magician.

Frank Zappa did amazing things with a Pignose Amp, not sure how he mic’d it? Anybody know?

Lewis Margaret Harris David Clark George

How did you install the pickup & controls ?

Thank you!

It’s all about set up. When I started with Jm/jag, I bought staytrem bridges. They are great, but not needed. Once set up properly you’ll get no buzz on an either. I’d recommend a mustang bridge instead of the stock jm but that’s all I’d do The most versatile guitar out there

Resistance is still at least half of the equation. Inductance is going to take in account the magnets,; type, and magnetic charge. Think both readings used together are useful information

Hey! Pau Gasol you cant fool us!😅

What kind of guitar is the first one?

Sand went i. There

Cool video man I completely appreciate any information as I've been buying a lot of different guitars lately due to my uncontrollable addiction to find a crazy tone right Lol😂😂 but I just got a Mitchell with hotrail pickups which is my first experience with pickups like these... I have guitars that have single coils, hum buckers, p90s, lipstick style , etc.... I am extremely intrigued by how different these pickups can be ..... But the whole potted and unspotted thing makes perfect sense to me as I 6 months ago purchased a Harley Benton (explorer) type body style with active (emgs) equipped but they sounded like shit so I took them out and after looking at them they're completely saturated with the wax which obviously is just ruining the tone .... Any information about amps or guitars or pedals and I'm 1000% in..... Thanks again bruther 🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟

I’m liking both speaker but man I’m really digging the g10a. I’d say if you have a bright sounding amp go smooth and conversely. Thank you for sharing. I know I’m late to the game but the content is still valid. Rock on.

I'm sorry, did I misread the title, "Lab Series L5 L7 L9 Amp vs Fender Blackface Super Reverb"? Where is the L5? The L5 is the reason this video came up in my search. While I think your comparison is excellent in that it clearly demonstrates the superiority of the Lab Series amps, I am disappointed to find there is no L5 in this video.

I recapped the electrolytics in a ‘72 silver face bandmaster and replaced two noisy capacitors in the vibrato channel with silver mica - one was the treble capacitor. And a 3rd ceramic off of the tremolo jacks that was wicked microphonic. Had to wedge the tagboards apart further where it was distorted , because noise was somehow being created but went away when boards were wedged apart. Also balanced and used the rob robinette bias pot mod to bias. I think it was perhaps the sweetest amplifier I ever heard. Plugged in a tubescreamer and it did AC/DC perfectly, then I plugged solasound clone mkiii tone bender and it did beautiful Hendrix tones. Also with the small output transformer it was still louder than balls !!

speaker 1 the higher gain was the factor i like 1

I think it is debatable whether the pickup senses any vibrations from the wood.

I had a one manualfrom 1972 to 1974

The Blackhawk sounds a tiny bit warmer, imo.

Shake it, shake it 😂😂😂

Visited the Bluebird last week for the first time--an amazing experience! Then found these videos--I had no idea there was a TV show! I'd watch every episode if I could. These are so much better than ACL, especially now that they've moved their focus away from country music. Bring The Bluebird Cafe back to TV!!

Ummm... can you please tune up? I like the fane better for sure.

Quite useful

No tocas tan mal, hasta diría que lo haces bastante bien. Eso si, sigues hablando mucho.... Gracias por la comparativa, fue interesante.

I was in an italian rock band in the 70s and sometime we had to do guest appearances and often the other band had one of these. I loved to play the Vox. I thought was the next best thing to a Hammond.. Classic classic instrument and very robust!!

if you would like to see more of it, see the following link, where an engineer repair one of these and then plays it. [ MANUTENÇÃO DE SINTETIZADOR VALVULADO SOLOVOX HAMMOND ] kzbin.info/www/bejne/e5S0pKV7jKmJaKsfeature=shared&t=1310
