[neuro182]

backstab21 is right i got my SD Jazz & JB each at $99 onli. Add $20 for installation :wink:

 

[anep]

wowweee... 8O
i'll have to start my diet...

ermm, the installation. dun need any professional person doing it right?
i tink my kuzz can install for me..

 

[empro]

if i get the invader and 59... then wana make it into 5 way switch you think it is possible ?

 

[neuro182]

It is all in the wiring :wink: Check it out with Davis.

 

[Mew]

If im not wrong, standard 59s only come with 2 conductor cables, u would have to specially order a 4 conductor 59 to do so.

 

[jony]

IN fact i think it comes with a single conductor..

Yea but the 4 conductor is a special option for free.

 

[Rollercoaster]

Do I have to pay extra fees to custom order the pearly gates? And what's the difference between two conductor and four conductor? Does Davis install pickups for us free of charge when we buy pickups from them or do they charge extra fees? I know Yamaha at Plaza Singapura charge extra fees for installation while Swee Lee does it for no extra fees if we buy pickups from them......

 

[jony]

Nope. They will bring in the pearly gates for you.. You got to wait a lil' while though.

Davis do charge installation

2 conductor humbuckers cannot be slplit for single coil operation while 4 can.

2 = all coils into conductors

4 = 1 coil for every 2 conductors, thus the versatility.

 

[empro]

about how much davis will charge to install the pickups if you bought from them ?

 

[Rollercoaster]

if I split the four conductor into single coil, will it sound like a strat?

$20.

 

[Fruitwine]

if I split the four conductor into single coil, will it sound like a strat?

that kinda depends on alot of things, body wood, what pickup it is (i.e. if its some super high output ultra bassy pickup, then no, u most likely wont). chances are, you wont get an authentic strat tone outta coil splitted humbuckers, imo. i have a strat with a lil59 and a custom custom, even when both are split, it definately does not sound like my other strat with 80s single coils. nothing close. just my 5c share.

 

[jony]

Nothing sounds like a single coil except a single coil.

There are some humbuckers that aim to do that though

Seymour duncan Stag Mag.

Then again that pickup in humbucking mode isnt great,

 

[Rollercoaster]

I jus found out they're selling the pearly gates at $125, plus installation fees $20, yay!!!!!!!!!!! I'm a happy man!

 

[Mew]

no humbucking pickup would sound like a single coil. they could sounds close when split.... but not quite there

 

[popeye]

true. If any humbucker can match a single coil sound, then you could see strat become extinct from this planet. :lol:

 

[MrE]

slightly off topic, how does an out-of-phase humbucker sound like?

not as warm as a humbucker? more twang?

forgive me if i'm clueless

 

[BlackMoo]

its a very thin sound, very weird and unusual sounding. Exotic if you will. to me it sounds too thin for cleans, but when I use an out of phase hum for power chords, its sorta got 'kick' . Then when comes to the chorus u switch back to full hum. Well thats how i use it anyway.

 

[ShredCow]

I have an phase switch on my guitar. Hard to describe in words, but its very oink-ish, does not sound like a normal guitar tone at all. Its got little power and its very compressed. I would say, for cleans its great for funk and something different, for distortion, its a bloody tight crunch.

In anycase, the phase thing is bascially the coils cancelling out freqencies when wired out of phase... and the effect is greater as the coils get closer. So its really quite pointless to have a humbucker out of phase with itself. Its like almost no output and most frequencies are cancelled.

And yes, out of phase only happens with 2 pups.

 

[worldwithoutlines]

Yeah...do both the SD hot rails and Custom Custom humbucker sound good?
