Mount the pickup on a slide.

[@DeadEdRocks]

I liked how you could hear the magnetic field of the the guitar pickups

[@DeadEdRocks]

Damn. I dig the electric toothbrush too!

[@willumcarc.3820]

I think using the headphones next to the pickup for a wacky vocal effect is a really cool idea

[@BrainDestroyer13]

Can you please explain this? I don't understand.

[@famitory]

since the pickup isn't on the guitar you could probably get away with putting an absurdly strong magnet on it to give it more physical range and output

[@peehandshihtzu]

Interesting the slight warbling effect it had when you hovered it over the existing pu's. it was like they were fighting each other but in a very passive aggressive way. I believe the term is reluctance as opposed to resistance. :)

[@Starzz62]

Ok what if you made some kind of contraption with a motor that moves the sliding pickup up and down in the slot while you play? It would probably make for some crazy tones!

[@RockStarOscarStern634]

It's awesome, & Thomastik makes Rope Core Classical Strings.

[@mccloud273]

You could probably put on a bass trem and possibly those fancy half-step tuning mechanisms. Oh wait, we're talking about pickups aren't we? I don't remember the name exactly, but there's a pedal that acts as a distortion by generating actual voltage (think it might be called the plasma pedal?). Perhaps you could add a voltage system that sits between the pickup and output jack, acting as an on-board effect of sorts

[@leftyguitarist8989]

It's a shame you didn't test a steel string acoustic on this thing. As someone who recorded a punk album where the guitar for all but 2 tracks was recorded using a modified Fender Acoustic plugged into a Fender Mustang with distortion, i can assure you that the sound of an acoustic guitar with an electric guitar pickup plugged into an amp is super underrated.

[@SaidTooMuchProductions]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/fZe7l6t_iLulf5o I'm aware lol

[@Insill]

You certainly think out of the box!

[@tekdeth3240]

What if you were to put a pickup facing down on the strings on a rail, so the pickup slides over the strings instead of under. This way you can have a pickup both under and above the strings in the same or different positions. For instance, you have an immovable neck pickup with a movable pickup above it (sliding the movable pickup over the bridge pickup would get in the way of picking the strings I imagine) and the strings are between the two pickups. Probably a dumb and impractical idea though, haha.

[@James_Dawes]

It'd be really cool to do somthing similar to the rail project, but position the pickup externally like it is on this project, so you could technically have guitar that can pickup all the way from the bridge to the 12th fret or so

[@osvaldodelapenavelasquez4880]

5:38 Orion? 😂🙌

[@landonoffmars9598]

What about a rotary pickup? I mean, the 6th string pickup transitioning to the place of the 1st string pickup (and the 1st string pickup transitioning to the place of the 6th string pickup), all cyclically. Not sure if it would be closer to a tremolo effect or to a Leslie effect.

[@PhillipRaymondGoodman]

Since the sound is usually made by the strings movements over the pick up, having the pick up move would do the same thing, so it would create a constant tone, but if it was moving slowly maybe it would be to low to hear and so youd just hear whatever other effects you would get from it. But a variable speed control maybe through a whammy pedal creating a varying tone to go with the normal guitar sound would be cool

[@landonoffmars9598]

@@PhillipRaymondGoodman I cannot imagine a constant tone since in every cycle there would be a moment of almost silence for the 1st and 6th string (i.e. when the strings are parallel to the pickup). However, I can imagine what you say in the case of the 3rd and 4th strings. And yes, a variable speed device would be cool, envelope follower type.

[@PhillipRaymondGoodman]

@@landonoffmars9598 tbh this kinda seems like the sort of thing that Simon the magpie, or maybe look mum no computer would do

[@landonoffmars9598]

@@PhillipRaymondGoodman Yes, specially Simon.

[@darlyngton_nyc]

Ebow on acoustic?

[@duradura1990]

Is tonewood important?

[@pedrodargen1431]

How many pickups can you fit inside that poor Ibanez bass?

[@SaidTooMuchProductions]

I did that to the brice... 4 jazz humbucker were the limit

[@peehandshihtzu]

So I always wondered why no one has utilized inductive technology to capture each string individually and blend them further downstream in the signal path. I'd think it may be hard to do but of benefit in many untold ways. just the same I wonder why we aren't using hydraulics for tremolo bars but that is a different video. Don't even get me going on the benefits cereal milk could have on our society as a whole. ;)

[@landonoffmars9598]

There is a bass that captures each string individually using an optical system (infrared light), Willcox Guitars - Saber Bass. Nate Navarro's video "Surround Sound BASS RIG - Every String Gets a Different Amp" at kzbin.info/www/bejne/lXiXn2WEat-Dj9E

[@peehandshihtzu]

@@landonoffmars9598 Way too cool, I'm gonna check that out, thanks for the pointer. :)

[@connormcinerney7503]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/qKevaWZjnt5ge7M Not exactly your typical bass, but this one has custom pickups for each individual string with 4 separate outputs for each string. The video goes over a few benefits that you can get from such a setup, but you could probably come up with some more interesting ones, like adding effects to specific strings or side-chaining using certain strings. You don't need to watch the whole thing (although I'd recommend the build series as a whole) so you can just skip to 15:37 where it gets demo'd

[@myownlivingnightmare]

Gibson did that many years ago with the HD.6X-PRO Digital Guitar

[@peehandshihtzu]

@@myownlivingnightmare Yeah that thing didn't quite go where it could have, check out the other commenters link. More of what I envisioned could be done. Gibson has a knack of ruining things by making them to proprietary. :)
