      I can't even understand why some non US channels lower their level to burgers per freedom scale.

    • @andesneko
      @andesneko 3 года назад +2

      @UCEG3j67lwura76U6VafmZrQ Easy. "1m/3 ", "third of a meter", "333.3cm", "33.3% of a meter", and so on.
      Now you tell me how burgers per freedom differs. Because in imperial you still would say "Third of an inch" or similar.

    • @TwoThumbZen
      @TwoThumbZen 3 года назад +5

      Be a little smarter and learn how to convert units. It's not any harder than dividing a meter by 3.

    • @TwoThumbZen
      @TwoThumbZen 3 года назад +3

      Meter vs. foot, not meter vs inch. A third of a foot is "4 inches" and is clearly indicated. Of course you will get repeating decimals when dividing an inch by 3 because we unfortunately use decimal counting system as opposed to dozenal where 1 inch/3 = 0.400 inches. Not saying one is always better than the other, but people should know why imperial still exists before dismissing it.

    Adjust pickups higher than you know they should be. Hold finger at last fret pluck the string while turning the adjustment screw to the lower it until the tone stops oscillating. This is the sweet spot for any pickup height it's just that simple!

    Yet another video straight on point. Balance is just right with all needed info but not too complex, easy to follow, entertaining. Production is great, editing, mood, tone of presenter, the whole thing. It feels like a much more mature production format than it actually is, considering this show is not that old. Well, maybe only producers will understand what I'm saying, but well done Kris. And in fact Thomann as well, I think your coms and marketing and product development and associated media is really spot on, great customer service... without a doubt you are to Europe what Sweetwater is to the US, it's not easy to get all of this right, so congrats and keep it up.

  • @waltjames407
    @waltjames407 Год назад +4

    I find almost everyone's recommendations to be too close to the strings for my taste. I usually have to go about twice as far from the strings, about 4 mm, at least on single coils. Otherwise the pickup takes over the sound of the guitar. Back it off to about 4 mm and suddenly I can hear all that nice resonance and breath and depth from the guitar's wood and hardware. If you watch performances of people like Hendrix, Rory Gallagher, et. al. you'll see that many of them have their pickups almost flush with the pickguard. The best tone comes from raising the action a little, lowering the pickups, and playing with some force, IMO.

    I was getting crazy fret buzz on a Fender Player Plus. Bought it used so there were all the questions in my mind about it not being factory standard, what did they do to it, etc. After trying pretty much everything except refretting, I noticed the pickups were quite high (SSS noiseless).. so I dropped them a lot.. maybe a cm or more. Now the buzz is almost completely gone. and the volume and tone aren't noticeable affected. Great starting point.

    In the Dan Erlewine book he has some pro guitarist's setup measurements, and apparently Jeff Beck's strings are actually touching the pickups on his Strat (when pressing down the string at the last fret). SRV had his set to only 1/16". So I guess they didn't care about the overtones and warble?

All Imperial rulers that I’ve seen are divided into these fractions of an inch.

    Hi Kris, can you share your goldtop pickup heights? I have the same one I think (50s Standard) and I struggle with the pickup height adjustment and polepieces. Tried to keep my bridge polepieces relatively flat and the bass strings of the neck pickup high enough so the polepiece screw sides are visible to make them a bit brighter. However I keep swinging between weak or too bright for bridge and muddy for neck pickup tones. Thanks for the amazing content!

      Because of the design of vintage style Sinlge-Coil pickups. The pole pieces of the B and E string sit lower than the rest, so this side (treble side) has to go higher for a balanced sound.

    Ok, Here I go: My Strats have a lot of sustain, thus higher volume than other Strats that I just bought because of the Strings' Tubes mod. So now, no matter how far pickup is from strings (Neck) ... the damn things sound like .... a Telecaster (clean) .... but when I engaged OD/DIST ... the guitars behave like ... Strats ... twangy and organic. I had to change gauge strings set down to .08 to "recover" that clean Strat tones. Now they sound the way a Strat should ..... clean ... and with DIST.

    On my player strat, I can hear a little "warble" when fretted @ 12th especially in the wound strings unless they're 3mm bass side away from the string (fretted at 22nd). So - this guitar requires 3mm at bass and about 2.6mm at treble for a warble free experience all the way down the neck.
    Fender's official spec says 2mm/1.6mm which is ABSURD. Use your ears. The specs are no good. I suspect those specs were written for the older Mexican standard pickups which use bar magnets below the pole pieces (ceramic).

    I have hss strat with 250K pots in volume and neck tone and 500K pot in bridge tone. Also 0,47 cap. I use JB hum in bridge and fender fat 60's in neck and middle. My single coils sound very dull even when they are correct height. Should I adjust them even higher?

    Does this humbuckers pickup height works also for MP90? Mine is MP90.

    Hey Kris, you said that you shouldn't go closer to the strings as 2.4 mm on singlecoils. Do you set the bass and treble side the same height? So for example both bass and treble 2.4 mm distance to the string?

      I usually get closer to the strings on the treble side than on the bass side when using vintage style single-coils with staggered pole pieces. Just to balance out the volume of the strings. The 2.4mm is mainly important for the low strings to avoid that "wolf note" issue. Cheers //Kris

    Just set the height where you think it sounds the best , not so hard to do.

      It sounds so easy that I bet I can screw it up and be able to get it back to the original sound even if I measure it first 😆

    Chris talks about a chorus sound if the pickups are to close to the strings. But I have this sound all the time even if the pickups are flat to the body. They are lower output alnico 2 humbuckers. Can anyone help me ?

    is it the same distance as for the strat?
