op het bill lawrence forum kwam iemand met een probleem dat zijn pickup zo zacht klonk en begon te fluiten.
BL stelde voor om wat meer tijd te nemen om de goede pickup hoogte te vinden maar schreef ook nog even over het brug materiaal en dat is wel interessant voor de tele liefhebbers denk ik.
ma, after checking some of your earlier postings, I have a slight idea about your setup and came to the conclusion that you play mostly at a moderate stage volume.
A: At higher volume levels, there is very little difference in volume between higher and lower output pickups.
B: Heavy, standard brass bridge mounts can cause some minor hum and minor losses in volume and highs.
C: Magnetic steel bridge mounts can cause quite some hum, and at higher volume levels, some microphonic squealing plus minor losses in highs.
D: Lightweight nonmagnetic 300 series stainless steel bridgemounts -- very quiet, no losses, no microphonics.
Taking A,B.C and D in consideration, I assume that there is a short over the pickup coil, and the lower coil (the hum canceller) picks up a very weak signal from the strings and will hum like a single coil.
