Yeah I don’t see what this has to do with what I’m saying

Everything you say about gear feels very arbitrary and externally influenced. This thread is no exception.

I think people who swap pickups mostly want different as opposed to "better".

That was really difficult to read, both from a sentence-structure-and-grammar standpoint, and from a "talking common sense" standpoint.

Also, you have a stamme[n] - I hate to break it to you (actually, I don't), but that's a digital pedal.

Also Jazzmasters rule and I personally love the way the pickups sound, so I don't know where you're getting your lame ideas that they are objectively worse in some way.

If you've come to argue about "muh toans", you're in the wrong place.

That thread you’re referring to was a thread I asked about OD recommendations, in that thread people started posting their opinions on where I should be running my OD/boost and I was simply quoting them so what you’re saying makes no sense.

Is it possible that whether guitar sounds are pleasing or not is a subjective thing that is different for different people?




Nah that's silly

I am saying that you have half baked gear thoughts. And that this is a theme. There is no right or wrong to gear.

Try asking ILF about tonewoods next

You’re right I do have a stamme[n], I have digital pedals I play with, I’m not saying digital is bad either, for “sweet toanz” I can hear it and personally don’t like it. I don’t play it with my band or record with it, I have it for fun, digital pedals can do a lot analog can’t do. I guess my question isn’t coming across as I intended it to

I am almost positive you cannot ID a circuit as analog or digital by ear alone.

That’s not true, if I put my fuzz after my overdrive I get a ton of feed back (wrong to gear), if I put my delay first in my chain, it sounds like fucking shit (wrong to gear). I’m simply asking opinions and you’re starting fights

Dude have you played any Duncans or Dimarzios?
They make fucking sick pickups, both brands. I have Dimarzios in one guitar, Duncans in another, handwound Lundgrens in a third and handwound Nelsons in another. The only common thread between all four is that I think they are all rad and would buy any of those pickups again. Why? Because I did my research and bought pickups with the sound qualities I was after, regardless of the brand or method of manufacture.

While brutal I'm inclined to agree with our friend Friendship on this one.

Well, I think, the origins of the popularity of those guitars lie in the 1980s when Sonic Youth and other indie bands started buying old Jags and Jazzmasters because they were much cheaper than vintage Strats and Teles, but were still Fenders. Simple as that.

You're not asking questions, you're espousing nonsense.

1.) I think jazzmasters are piles personally, but I think it's great if someone else likes them. And I agree the bridge is the real worst part.
2.) Digital signal processing is here to stay. I don't care either way honestly. I very much like PT chips as well. I'm also irritated by the idea that you need mojo builds with oversized axial capacitors and hand picked transistors in a fuzz pedal that sounds like robot farts. I think people have lost their damn minds and bought into this idea that it sounds better.
3.) I don't put the same pickups in every guitar, but I do like Dimarzios.. do they sound any different than stuff made by other guys? Maybe.. probably not.

I don't think anyone here is really a "Oh I got a Dumble and this $175 guitar cable and an all analog booster with 8 actual components and was $300 And has one knob, to play my new heritage burst Les Paul I got at guitar center for $4,999 through" kind of dudes.
I'm not saying there is anything wrong with that either, it's just not this crowd.
