I had tried also one of those, the neck was slim, very different from the Fender Vintera II 70's Telecaster.

I have to play one, i had seen that it has a slim neck instead of a medium or even a thick neck as the originals, i have tried the Vintera II by Fender, but what i didn't liked so much was the chunky neck, i have relatively small hands with thin fingers, it didn't feel too uncomfortable to me...

Hi, someone has measured how much DC resistance has this WRHB? It is on the original 23-29k thing? I had checked out the Vintera II on a shop a year ago, it sounded very much like the old ones and i have an old 2007, Squier vintage modified one with Rotosound tapes.

A Gibson Mudbucker or any pickup that gets the same or a similar informal name like the Fender WRHB and the Guild HB-2 (known as the Sludgebucker), will give you a deeper, thumpier and more compressed, almost upright kind of sound, they also will give you much more power and volume, while the...

VINTAGE 1970s FENDER SETH LOVER TELECASTER BASS WIDE RANGE HUMBUCKER PICKUP - PROJECT! NEEDS REWIND | Reverb Here i found something very interesting, it is an original from the 70's completely unassembled (sorry for my still poor english), and i can see that there is some kind of magnet there...

Yeah, i had heard the guitar versions and i totally agree, the non-CuNiFe ones sound closer to a 60's Gibson T-Top or a 70's Guild HB-1 than to the original ones, the newer CuNiFe versions sound pretty much like the originals, but i'm not that sure if they are a little hotter than the vintage...

I not that sure if in a bass matters that much if is the original design or not, because my Squier VM Precision TB has the same thump and power of the originals, but they're not as muddy, so my guess is that the 70's ones circuitry had some capacitor that made some kind of treble cut, just as...

Surprisingly much less than in the Modern Player/Vintage Modified itineration, that measured 24k or more.

Supossedly they are AlNiCo pickups, i don't know how much dcr resistance they have, but it wouldn't be surprising if they have the same as the old Fender Modern Player WRHBs that also were on the Squier Vintage Modified Precision TBs and the Telecaster Specials. Someone has measured them?

Thank you

Hi, i'm wanting to buy the Squier Paranormal Rascal bass and i want to string it with flats, but i have seen that the Rascal is a 30" scale bass and the TI flats for short scale basses are 32", so my question is: they could work on a Rascal or what set of flats can buy for it? As it has a...

So, no one answered my question, so i will do it again: That mudbucker is a true, 30k ohms one or it's the same, musicman sounding one as with the Epi EB-0/3 ones? Someone has measured how much resistance that pickups has?

The mudbucker is a true 30k ohms mudbucker or is the Musicman-like sounding low-z garbage?

Something that i have learned hearing more the upright and the basses that can get truly close to the sound: 1. Avoid thin sounding pickups This means that for truly getting close to an actual upright in a electric, you need a bassy and percussive pickup like a Gibson/Epiphone mudbucker (or a...

Definitively depends on the design of the string sets, by example, rotosound, ernie ball and d'addario flats and also some tapes has that awful, bass scooped and mid/high pushed sound of rounds that i mostly loathe, but there are also old school sounding strings: in flats we have...
