Zhangliqun | Re: Tension vs. wax-potting I'm with you on the supersoak -- past a certain point it doesn't matter to my ear what pickup you're using. It's like throwing a gallon of water into a Yosemite forest fire vs. a pint. Not gonna make a lot of difference. But I've got one guy in particular who just loves to death this 10.5k I made for him and says he really can hear a big difference between it and the typical 14k+ A5/ceramics he's tried on one end, and the vintage-output models he's tried on the other. He likes it enough that he doesn't want his money back -- he's willing to wait for me to find a solution to the high gain feedback problem. It's possible the higher coil tension combined with the wax between the baseplate and magnet will fix the whole shebang. But I want to be able to present him with some other options in case it doesn't, hence my humbly approaching the throne of the AMPGE Collective... |
