SK	Re: How to interpret resonance freq. WELLL.... There's alot of discussion as to HOW you get that number, but disregarding that you can say the higher is going to be "brighter" and have it's "volume" focused at that frequency. Now, if you use a "standardized" testing procedure and you have a good idea of what a pickup of that type with a peak at 5khz is, then you can deduce what a variance from that will sound like...more experience more accurate deductions... Also important is the taper of the peak. Does it have a narrow frequency response with a strong peak, or a flatter frequency response with the peak just being somewhat higher...
