Single Coil PU

[ShredCow]

LOL... wow that does make me sound undecided huh... hahaha... How'd you explain the emotional solos found in metal music then? Don't really have any words to describe it. But basically the idea is to find variation rather than just having the neck pu do all the work... Bahz... was at Swee Lee earlier today, but was in a rush so didn't ask price for YJM...

If you're talking purely the emotional solo - you're talking about the much neglected other 50% of the TONE FORMULA.

Its articulation, dynamics, choice of notes, vibrato, etc etc. The stuff that gives character.



For sonic variation, try this:

Lower your middle pup till its like about level with the pickguard. See if you like that tone - which only works with gain due to the massive level differences but its something Paul Gilbert & Vai enjoy.

whitestrat: the YJM's nice? i thought it's only made for YJM's style. how's the output btw? very very low?

Yeah... it's quite low... Surprising huh? I was equally SHOCKED when I first tried it, and was impressed. One of the nicest tones in the market.

u bought the yjm yjm hs-3 set?

 

[Whitestrat]

u bought the yjm yjm hs-3 set?

No... A friend of mine has it... Was impressed when I tried his guitar which was a YJM HS3 HS3 combo.

 

[HarrisonYeo]

hmm , i'am confused right now if i should get the malmsteen set (yjm/yjm/hs-3) or should i get the VV (DiMarzio Virtual Vintage) solo set .

Having tried both, if I wanted something nice to play with OD, very John Mayer style, I'd then get the YJM set. The Virtual vintage is nice, but i'd call it sterile compared to this one. The Solo is very midrangey... I like my single coils scooped... Like Fender CS69s...:twisted:

But between all these sets? I swear by the CS69s...

 

[HarrisonYeo]

there's the new Virtual Solo , maybe i should try them out!.
i really like the VV solo which dimarzio discounted judging from the tone from the guitarist howie simon.
the stock fender's have a really good tone to it too , but the hum is loud,really annoying and gives me headaches .

 

[fareezo]

Sounds like a paradox.

Twangy is what... country-like bite & snap?

Jazzy is what... warm, thick?

Bluesy is what... biting/warm/sustaining tone?

Make up your mind!

LOL! You got a point shredcow

[Whitestrat]

I think you can order from Swee Lee.:twisted:

I got mine from GC.:mrgreen:

These are so nice, when the SSS guitar that Ripper is bringing in for me arrives, I'm dumping a set in for sure...:twisted:
