Maybe it has to do with the woods my guitar is made of. It is an '87 Epiphone Spotlight ("lawsuit model") made of mahogany neck throught body with a 34 feet ebonite fretboard, mahogany body with carved maple top. Maybe all that mahogany in the neck position makes the tone too brassy for the 85? Anyone know?

@CusterFlux8 жыл бұрын
You can hear how the 85 was designed for the neck position - so for smooth noodling, it's probably the best here - but for crunchy compressed playing - the 60 would really shine. The 81 is good for clean strumming - but by comparison - in the neck position - the 85 does just about everything better than the 81 does - EXCEPT - I have to admit, if you're playing jugga-jigga-wugga metal rhythm, and you WANT to leave a bit of a hole, say for a separate lead tone to play over: you might consider using the 81 at the neck, precisely because it's NOT as full, and therefore leaves room ( but also, on its own, doesn't sound as good ) - but otherwise - for just about anything else: just go 85 - unless you play in a crunchy strat style, in which case, go 60.

@@LCRLive687 Lowering the resonance frequency of any passive pickup is for free. You just put a capacitor in parallel to the pickup. The same happens, if you switch to a long cable. Heigthening the frequency however requires an active electronic (to decouple the electronics). Thus my hint would always be: Stick with the higher frequency pickup and than lower as required. Another hint: Always listen to the guitar in a mix. Highs make the guitar cut through, lows make the mix muddy even more, especially with multiple guitars. Of course tastes are different, so it is up to you, what sounds you want... just my 2 cents.

Please stop repeating pseudo-intellectual nonsense if you don't know what you are talking about. Wood doesn't have anything to do with the tone of a solid body electric guitar while plugged.

@davidmonroy869 жыл бұрын
1st There is no need to be agressive dude, my comment wasn't... 2nd Most of the difference in price in guitars come from craftmanship and wood quality, the fact that 85 has a darker sound makes it more apropiate for alder wood guitars that have a thiner sound opposite from mahogany that have more body and low end into it. I have a gibson custom(mahogany) and an ESP MII (Alder) among others and the difference is obvious, sorry if it's not to you even using the same gauge for strings, same pickup distance, and same pickups. Thus the pickups you choose do balace thing. 3 You are completely right, the string gauge makes a huge of a deal putting low end or thikness into the sound. As well as pickup distance, in this latter case is mostly because the added gain. I like the video because it acually isolates the actuall difference between pickups...And if something 50% of the sound comes from the cabin and amp you use, not the guitar. cheers
