Totally missed the video. That thing sounds great! My favorite was the first setting, which I'm assuming is both pickups wide open?

Oh I like that. What are the settings on the different parts of the video? Sounds like the pickups combine pretty well!

Totally missed the video. That thing sounds great! My favorite was the first setting, which I'm assuming is both pickups wide open?

The settings are, as far as I remember.

0:00 - 0:16 P pickup 100%, Neck pickup 0%, Tone 100%.

0:16 - 0:28 - P pickup 100%, Neck pickup 100%, Tone 100%.

0:28 - 0:40 - P pickup 80%, Neck pickup 100%, Tone 100%.

0:40 - 0:50 - P pickup 50%, Neck pickup 100%, Tone 100%.

*point at Rickenbacker behind me*

0:50 - 1:01 - P pickup  0%, Neck pickup 100%, Tone 100%.

1:01 - 1:06 - P pickup  0%, Neck pickup 100%, Tone 0%.

1:06 - 1:10 - P pickup  0%, Neck pickup 100%, Tone 100%.

*grabs pick and plays same riff*

1:10 - 1:16 - P pickup  0%, Neck pickup 100%, Tone 100%.

1:16 - 1:23 - P pickup  30%, Neck pickup 100%, Tone 100%.

1:23 - 1:28 - P pickup  70%, Neck pickup 100%, Tone 100%.

1:28 - 1:32 - P pickup  70%, Neck pickup 0%, Tone 100%. This shows you the solo'd P pickup with the bass being cut by the 4.7 nF cap on the volume pot.

1:32 - 1:36 - P pickup  100%, Neck pickup 0%, Tone 100%. - Full P pickup

1:36 - 1:41 - P pickup  100%, Neck pickup 100%, Tone 100% - Both pickups turned up full, with a mids scoop.

1:41 -> - P pickup  80%, Neck pickup 100%, Tone 100%.


From here on out I'm not sure what precise combinations I used!  :rolleyes:

It sounds so much better than a traditional PJ setup!
