GUITAR PICKUP MYTHS BUSTED! (My own test)

In this video we are taking on the subject of guitar pickups. We will be comparing passive pickups and active pickups in terms of sound and cleanliness just like Glenn from Spectre Sound Studios has in his numerous videos about pickups.

i have a controversial opinion i think there’s no such thing as bad tone there will always be someone who enjoys a sound the guitar makes

[@genshinshenanigans7027]

Bad tone is whatever is bad to the person

[@JamieSlays]

the way the guitar is strung makes me want to cry haha. good video!

[@AllAboutMetallicaGuitar]

haha why is that?

[@AllAboutMetallicaGuitar]

but thank you very much!

[@JamieSlays]

@@AllAboutMetallicaGuitar they’re round the ‘wrong way’ should be wound towards the tuners not clockwise around them

@@JamieSlays agreed... my eyes melted at the sight

bro even picks like Het

[@AllAboutMetallicaGuitar]

haha yes I do

[@Fatsoulas]

@@AllAboutMetallicaGuitar Kinda irrelevant but I got myself a GrassRoots KH-2 with active EMG 81 and I am so happy

Good job man. And not to beat a dead horse, but if you are using an amp and cab, start with the speakers.. I don't know why it has been forgotten. Just a few years ago I had a 6505 112.. everyone said great amp but the speaker sucks. And they were right. I put a CV-75 in it and it came alive.

[@AllAboutMetallicaGuitar]

yesss for sure, speakers are the most powerful fixed eq you can get!

[@AntonLukas]

Fantastic example and video. Guitar players might just be the most gullible creatures on this planet.

[@AllAboutMetallicaGuitar]

thank you so much! I've been gullible for a long time too

[@user-hj5pk5rz8o]

What model is that ESP , and from where can I get one of those bad boys for myself?

[@AllAboutMetallicaGuitar]

Hey there! It's an ESP mx250 replica from Aliexpress that I got from a seller called Historic Guitar Store

[@BlakeSpohn]

Im thinking of getting a replica/fake guitar of hetfields eetfuk and modding it out, would you reccomend that?

[@AllAboutMetallicaGuitar]

I'd say it's worth it if the guitar itself is built well

[@iskandarchiptoh502]

do cannibal corpse with that tone !

[@AllAboutMetallicaGuitar]

haha yeah that would work

[@damndoor3570]

The passives had more balls tbh

[@AllAboutMetallicaGuitar]

nah they were just more muddy and noisy which made them sound more "bassy" because that shitty static sound is in the lower end so it makes things muddy
