Title: Artec Pickups
Post by: lateralis on October 28, 2009, 12:28:55 PM
This thread was previously the "Artec Double Rails pickup".
Changed it to Artec pickups to avoid confussion.
Kudos to dakuykoy for the suggestion.

Anyone has tried it yet? Is it really noiseless?

yes. no hum like garden-variety single coils...
There are strats in TMS cubao and SPL raon fitted with it in the bridge position. try them out.

watch this too:

oops, wait a minute brother, a standard tele's bridge plate has three screw holes (positioned in a triangular way around the pickup),
the artec dual rail has one hole in each ear (like in a strat pickup)... some drilling in the plate might be needed if you really want to put it there..  :wink:

bro merong pang tele d nga lang rail type,

i have reason to believe that artec makes most of the GFS pickups, they have almost the same line-up kasi hehehehe

yung sa tele 2 versions yung bridge pickups nila, vintage voiced, and yung fatboy nakagaya sa GFS they differ sa output and the size of the alnico magnets

yung neck pups naman isa lang vintage voiced lang

TMS ali mall has the neck and vintage bridge


hope that helps

ang pag kakaintindi ko sir, kung gano kalakas yung output.or lets say 14 to 16k ohm, high gain pickup yun..gumagamit ako high gain pickup kasi more on metalcore ako, gusto ko sensitive sa harmonics at sa chug chug

correct nyo na lang ako mga sir,para ma tama yung pagkakaintindi ko kung mali man..

sa ngayun sir di ko ma compare sa iba,dahil di pa ako naka try ng mga dimarzio,duncan,etc..pero dahil nga pang bridge yun, ewan ko kung tenga ko lang, mataba na parang round/buo yung tunog, swabe lalo pag naka compressor ,dinig talaga yung "pop" sound, noiseless? YES, adik pa naman ako sa full gain na heavy metal type na distortion..

hintayin din po natin kungg may video demo yung iba, di ko mapalabas yung full potential ng gantong config dahil sa limited yung playing skills ko,

kaya gusto ko ang config na H-H at H-S-H eh, ang style ko po kasi pag lead part neck position gamit ko, eh pag naka single coil maingay talaga ,naka multi ako ngayun kapag naka todo yung noise redution, nasa-sacrifice yung tone at sustain..

para sakin panalo to.. BTW guys, ask muna sa iba yung pag balance ng output kasi yung akin 16.2k ohms ang bridge at 12k naman ang artec ,so match talaga kahit pang bridge yung nilagay ko sa neck position..hindi ko po natanong kay sir jon, WHAT IF mas mataas ang output ng neck sa bridge  :?

Kamusta naman single coils ng artec?

Oh pwede na rin po bang magtanong. Sinaksak ko kasi fender strat ko sa 15W marshall amp, pero halos wala akong marinig pag naka-clean channel kahit todo na volume. Pero pag naka-drive channel, at high gain, malakas naman. Ano kaya problema?

Post by: dayuhanspace on November 27, 2009, 03:28:35 PM

Ive just installed an artec rail sa neck ng fernando strat ko and i find that lumakas ang attack ng
picking ko,but it sounded like a les paul neck pick up,mejo bass na midrangey so im adjusting and re adjusting the height of the pickup para humina ng kaunti ang tunog para bumalik ang twang.
so far it sounds good and probably i need to get "hiyang" for the sound. thumbs up!

dont want to start a war here just my  Opinion i hope you guys don't crucify me

bought and intalled about 5pcs of ths already and im beginning to believe that they tend to be too "bassy"? placed them on alder, ash and mahogany with maple top body and they tend to be muddy on the neck position, on the mid they sound abit the same as the one on the neck very slight difference really,

i believe they are are designed to be placed in any position but IMHO they sound lifeless on the neck and mid on the bridge position however that's a different story thats where this pickups really shine very well balanced on the bridge, coil tapping the rail didn't really gave me  a usable sound to be honest, the output on this one is around 9k+ splitting this would give you roughly around 4.5k-5k at most so thats really weak in my dictionary hehehehe
but again for the price, you really cant complain much hehehehehe

on to those artec tele pickups well same opinion the neck pickup its so-so but the bridge pickup especially the big pole one's that baby is Hot :)

i believe the extra more or less 800 you'll spend on a entwistle asn 57 noiseless pickups would be a better investment or the 62 model, and if your into Humbucker size pickups, check the entwistle HDN that TMS is selling it did magic on a mahog bodied, mahog neck custom of a friend sounded great

again this is just my opinion based on my first hand experience with the artec and artec entwislte pickups that TMS is selling just here to give my take on this

at the end of the day if the artec rails makes you happy and you find the sound your looking for on the rails then by all means pakyawan na hehehehe

as for me id pay the extra for those entwistle really worth it if you ask me both the SC's and the humb pickups

just my dos centimos hehehehe

Medyo OT:  :-)
the bridge pickup that you got is the TRA65, that's the overwound version of the TRA44 (vintage-voiced)

tip: lower the height of the TRA65, so it won't overpower the neck pickup (TFA40C).
     that particular neck pickup has a fairly medium output, but it's sound is pretty transparent

Thanks!  :-)

To Jingo and all:

For now, I am the only one authorized to install pickups, provided they're purchased from TMS and affiliate stores. I charge nothing for my service. I even do extra tweaking for free if I see something wrong with the guitar (as long as I can handle it; otherwise, I refer the client to kuya Jon dela Cruz). You can ask shodawmoon, arkeetar, bimbo, and many others about that. (Forgive me if can't remember the names of the majority of the people I had appointments with for this regard. Anyway, let me thank you all!!  :lol:)

It was set as protocol for the store personnel to give the client my mobile phone number or at least call me in my office so I can be informed of the request for installation and attend to it myself.

I appreciate your visit at the store/s :lol:

Post by: juanito4885 on January 29, 2010, 12:56:38 PM
dont want to start a war here just my  Opinion i hope you guys don't crucify me

bought and intalled about 5pcs of ths already and im beginning to believe that they tend to be too "bassy"? placed them on alder, ash and mahogany with maple top body and they tend to be muddy on the neck position, on the mid they sound abit the same as the one on the neck very slight difference really,

i believe they are are designed to be placed in any position but IMHO they sound lifeless on the neck and mid on the bridge position however that's a different story thats where this pickups really shine very well balanced on the bridge, coil tapping the rail didn't really gave me  a usable sound to be honest, the output on this one is around 9k+ splitting this would give you roughly around 4.5k-5k at most so thats really weak in my dictionary hehehehe
but again for the price, you really cant complain much hehehehehe

on to those artec tele pickups well same opinion the neck pickup its so-so but the bridge pickup especially the big pole one's that baby is Hot :)

i believe the extra more or less 800 you'll spend on a entwistle asn 57 noiseless pickups would be a better investment or the 62 model, and if your into Humbucker size pickups, check the entwistle HDN that TMS is selling it did magic on a mahog bodied, mahog neck custom of a friend sounded great

again this is just my opinion based on my first hand experience with the artec and artec entwislte pickups that TMS is selling just here to give my take on this

at the end of the day if the artec rails makes you happy and you find the sound your looking for on the rails then by all means pakyawan na hehehehe

as for me id pay the extra for those entwistle really worth it if you ask me both the SC's and the humb pickups

just my dos centimos hehehehe

peace ha


Sir set bang binili ang entwistle o tigiisa? Ano kaya magandang combination ng artec pups for blues and late 80 s and early 90s rock at magandang pangsolo? Tnx

i am really greatful with my artec double rail pickup. noiseless talaga sya. very warm on the neck. pero konting tweak lang with thevolume control or volume ng guitar and amp, it can sound like crispy strat. well, IMO!

also a good chorus pedal can add to a brighter  tone syempre.

when a dirt ped is engaged, a warm noiseless tone will come out. sarraapp!!!

very special thanks to Sir. Dax of SPL/TMS. For his patience in installing the pup to my guitar. I really cant do that to my guitar coz im a real noob in electronics.

thanks a lot too papi ryan!  :lol:

..because yesterday, I found out that the SBA73C can sound fine as a neck pickup if you have 500k ohm pots (volume and tone), and a .47uF tone cap din siguro.

i agree it sounds a bit too bassy in the neck position if you use a 250k pot..  :-)

for tele? the TRA dual rail is only for the bridge. (the 3-screw hole type)

if for strat, you can use the SBA73C in the mid and neck position as well, but i suggest using 500k pots and the appropriate tone capacitor.  :-)

Saan po ikakabit ang bawat wire? Medyo nalilito ako sa wiring ng volume. Newbie here.

Di ko  naman madala gitara ko sa TMS kasi napakalayo ng bagay ko.

Thanks in advance...  :-) :-) :-) :-)



for those who will install the double rails on their own, here's where the wires go:

Bare and black - to ground / volume pot base

Green - to the appropriate pickup selector tab/ring

Red and White - solder together and shield the end with an electrical tape, or solder them to the tab/ring of a push/pull pot or DPDT switch (if you opt for a coil tap)


If you notice some out of phase tone or volume drop when combining it with a neighboring pickup:

1. exchange the positions of the green and black wires of the dual rail

or:

2. exchange the position of the wires of the neighbor pickup (example: in a strat, exchange soldering points of its ground and hot wires)


this also applies to other 4-conductor humbuckers of artec and entwistle (GCH, HDN, Dark Star, GVH, HBBA, HBWA, HBBA117, etc..) 

take extra care when stripping the wires. thanks!   :-)

just had my tele wired with the rails, me likey. gigged with it right away. i would say it doesn't have that SD hot rails output i was hoping for, but it does the job of being as quiet as any rails pickup should and it does have that warmness i'm looking for.

 AND YET, it still has the "tele twang".

Sana nga nagkamali lang siya sa pagsabi ng price dahil pababalikin ko ang bro ko next week at magpapabili na lang ako sa kanya. :-) Dito pa kasi kami sa Laguna kaya hindi any time ay makakapunta kami ng Alabang dahil malayo. 

At pag 1250 pa rin, PM na lang kita sir dakuykoy. Thanks!  :wink:

OT: sir dax, may humbuckers ba na artec sa TMS? yung ok na pang high gain?

hi bro,

daks ako na sasagot neto hehehehehe hope its ok with you

the artec available in TMS are the ff:

Artec OEM, Enwistle and Giovanni

all 3 lines have Humbuckers and are available sa tms ali mall just dont know pero most probably meron yan sa lahat ng branches

1st sa artec, they have humbuckers merong white, black mostly alnico's price range is around 750-950 they even have 7 string pickups daks just correct me about the pricing ha anadami kasing pickups d ko mamemorize lahat, single coil nila are those rail types pero i think sc sized humbucker din sya hehehehe, yung tele meron sila na true sc talaga vintage bridge and those fat boy looking na kagaya ng sa GFS yung malalaki pole pieces

2nd enwislte : they have the HDN's which is my customers fave and ako din personally i like it for heavy stuff, they also have those dark star the one with the ceramic magnets, for scs naman they have the noiseless 57 model stacked and design nya you need to rout your body a bit deeper, they also have that 62 basically prices of the entwistle arent bad the hdn's 1295 or 1299, the sc noiseless 1295-1299 basta almost 1300, dark star is only 950 tama daks? yung ibang sc's nila from 950-1300 din

3rd and the best of the Bunch The Giovanni, im a big fan of Gio's since hearing good things about it in MLP or My Les Paul Forum, a customer of mine had me installed a giovanni GVH-2 and a set of GCS-1 and they sound wonderful to my ears again this are my personal opinion what might sound nice to me might not be your cup of tea hehehehehe, read on MLP that some people compares the giovanni SC's to those of fralins and the GVH-1 and 2 to be a very good PAF copy, they say that the details on these pickups are quite nice including winding etc.... im a bit sad though i wanted a GVH-2 unfortunately tms imported the gvh-1 only huhuhu, anyways they also have those GCH which some say are for the CHUG CHUG lovers, ok so here's my recollection regarding pricing again daks corect me if i didnt get it right

Giovanni:
Single coil - 1400-1600+
P90 90 (dog ear)- 1600+
GCH - 1600+
GVH-1 - 2000

not exact figures but its quite close hehehehehe

salamat sa tms sa pag bibigay ng bagong choices ng mga pickups for the community and KUDOS sa customer service ng ali mall and raon mababait tao, maasikaso comparable sya sa yupangco main sa buendia sorry for the comparison pero its hard to get good service now a days and sure na expirience ko yan sa tms

more power and import more hehehehehe

depende sa guitara, maraming factors kasi ,baody wood, neck wood, amp mo, signal chain etc.. etc...

yung pang strat na rails on the neck pos i didnt like it but on the bridge maganda and very clear

but seriously have you tired them all? i mean all models?

this is what ive tried personally:

strat rails 4 na dumaan saakin,

2 tele rails

a set of HDn's neck and bridge,

entwistle noiseless ( this is expected with most noiseless medyo nababawasan talaga yung high's pero d totoo na ngo ngo, kahit naman na fender and other boutique noiseless suffer from a lost ng high's kasi basically para ding humbucker yung design ng karamihan only instead na magkadikit yung coils yung isa nasa taas yung isa nasa baba stacked sya hence you also need to rout your pickup cavity deeper.

and last was the Giovanni GVH-2 and GCS-2 na set pinaka ka na gustohan ko sa lahat for the vintage sound

will try to make a demo of a strat na HSS bale neck is strat rail so is the mid then bridge was HDN's pag sinipag ako gawa ako demo will post it here

I sold mine a few months ago & was replaced by a dimarzio dp182 but I would say that artec rails are not bad. It's actually a steal for its price. It's not totally noiseless but it has less hum compared to other pickups.
I highly recommend this for those who use low to mid amount of gain whatever type of music you play.

Installed my Tele rails pickup sa king Greg Bennett Tele (FA1) at ito lang ang masasabi ko- WOW!  :-o

Una sa clean tone, medyo distorted sya sa full volume PERO if you lower the volume (around 4-6) ang ganda ng tunog, nandun pa rin yung 'quack' pero hindi manipis ang tunog.

At kapag nasa drive channel/ or gumamit ka ng od pedal naman ayos na ayos din ang tunog. from dirty blues to dimebag squel panalo.

Kaya sa mga nagdadalawang isip na bumili, itigil nyo na yan, punta na ng mall at umiskor  :lol:

For P750 SULIT na SULIT!  :-)

thank you brother! I thought about that because I notice marami pang nagno-note ng "OT" when they ask or post about other Artec pickup models. So instead of creating another thread, let's just keep this and change the title to accommodate other stuff about the other pickups. (as long as they are Artecs.) Thanks again!

sir daks, question... whats the difference between HDN and Darkstar humbuckers? i know they're both 16 ohms but with the sound, how does ceramic pickups differ to neodynum ones? Which of them would you recommend for me? I'm looking for that punchy mids and stompering lows...:-)

I think this is supposed to be in the Entwistle thread  :lol:

anyway, for the benefit of all, the main difference of the two is that the Dark Star has more bass and low mids, but is still bright enough; the HDN has more brilliance to it as compared to the Dark Star.

regarding the magnets, both ceramic and neodymium have strong magnetic fields (that's why the neodymium bar embedded in the HDN is just small/narrow), it's just that, in my opinion, neodymium has that clarity associated with Alnico magnets.

ok, but remember what the great Bill Lawrence said; tone of the pickup relies on the design (of the winding), not just the magnet type used.  :-)

so if you're after thumping mids and lows, the Dark Star would suit you. You might also want to opt for the Artec Giovanni GCH-2  :-) thanks!

pero it's a nice sounding pick up... I use it with SH with mid gain... less humming... almost unnoticeable...
I'll try to use it in the middle... if it works fine then I'll add another and use them on neck and middle...

Isa pa pala mga Sir...
pag-ginamit ko both neck (artec rails) and middle (stock) pick up, halos wala ka marining mula sa neck (artec rails)...parang yun middle (stock) lang ang gumagana pero may konti din yun neck (artec) which is not the case when I'm still using the stock pick ups for both neck and middle positions...
(considering I raised already the height of the neck (artec) to get closer to the strings to catch up on the volumes of the stock pick ups...)
kasi pagnaka-level talaga sya tulad ng nasa middle (stock) pick up ko,mahina talaga yun output nya (artec)...
I'm thinking also it might be the wrong polarity of the magnets...If this case is possible in Artec Doulble Rails pick ups...

HSS po yun stock ko... hehe
that time gagawin ko sana HSH...
kanina sinubukan ko gamitin sa middle yun Artec Double Rails, mas nagandahan ako sa tunog  compared nun nandun sya sa Neck position...
Mangyayari ngayon magiging HHS na yun pick up configuration ko... hahaha
pero ganun pa din, mahina pa din output ng Artec, sinubukan ko na ipalit yun black and green wires...

I noticed also the Artec pick up has a lesser magnetic force compared to the stock pick ups...
Ndi kaya malakas lang talaga yun output ng stock pick ups compared sa normal pick ups kaya parang naging mahina yun Artec..?

Mamaya subukan ko i-parallel yun wiring ng Artec... I was thinking it was in series connection kasi yun white and red wires were soldered together...

how strong the magnet doesnt determine output of the pickup...fyi its the windings
Title: Re: Artec Pickups
Post by: colorless krayola on May 06, 2010, 07:44:52 PM
how strong the magnet doesnt determine output of the pickup...fyi its the windings
The turns of wires is just one of the factors Sir...
The magnets also...  :-D

from wikipedia:
The output voltage of pickups varies between 100 mV rms to over 1 V rms for some of the higher output types. Some high-output pickups achieve this by employing very strong magnets, thus creating more flux and thereby more output. This can be detrimental to the final sound because the magnets' pull on the strings can cause problems with intonation as well as damp the strings and reduce sustain. Other high-output pickups have more turns of wire to increase the voltage generated by the string's movement. However, this also increases the pickup's output resistance/impedance, which can affect high frequencies if the pickup is not isolated by a buffer amplifier or a DI unit.

when I installed an artec dual rail sa strat ni half_empty na naka-stock 250k pots, medyo di ko talaga trip tunog niya dun. but when i fitted kune_km's Ibanez GSA60 (HSS) na may 500k pots, wala kaming masabi sa tone, men. shoot na!

so one time, a random customer walked in at TMS to have his SSS Bullet Strat converted to HSH ( artec rails on bridge and neck), I asked him to score 500k pots sa lazer. ayun na nga, ganda nung tone. I'll post the vid when I retrieve it


@ dakuykoy what neck pick-up is a best match for the artec rails??

kahit ano naman, basta mas mababa ng konti ang DC resistance niya sa artec dual rail (strat: 12k ohms |  tele: 13k ohms)

although kung panay rock ka, Entwistle XS62N ang ok. Kung mas versatile trip mo, Artec GCS-1 na lang

what's the purpose of it Sir Dax..?
To achieve the less bassy tone..?
It's more bassy if you use it on the neck position...
Is using 500k potentiometer makes it's tone more bassy..? or  less..?

Post by: dakuykoy on May 08, 2010, 09:55:22 PM
what's the purpose of it Sir Dax..?
To achieve the less bassy tone..?
It's more bassy if you use it on the neck position...
Is using 500k potentiometer makes it's tone more bassy..? or  less..?

500k pots makes the neck dual rail brighter and makes the bridge dual rail sound fuller

experience ko lang with 250k, when i installed a dual rail in the neck, i have to really get it close to the strings, and i noticed that it sounds bassy

basta pag sa bridge position, ok lang siya as is kahit 250k pots

^ It doesn't change the output volume Sir..?
In my case, I have to get the Artec Double Rails pickup really closer to the strings to match the volume output of the stock pickups...
At approximately 0.4cm from the Artec Double Rails rail to the string while on my stock pick ups were approximately 1.7cm from the strings...
In that given distance, they have the same output volumes...

I'll try to replace the 250K potentiometer with 500K tonight...

^^Thank you for this post.  I'm getting the same experience.  Installed the dual rails on my bro's cheapo S-S-S on the bridge position.  Mahina.  Sobrang lapit dapat sa strings just to match the output of the neck and middle.  I checked my connections and re-flowed fresh solder, wala ganun talaga.  Another thing I noticed, the output on the G and B strings are even more weaker compared to other strings.

hmmm.. I don't like what's happening here. I might as well install a few specimen to some guitars. I'll just make sure this batch dual rails from the recent shipment don't have a defect or something. For the past year that I've been installing these (mostly in the bridge position), I didn't encounter such problem. I'll give you all feedback on this. Thanks!

@ siore - what did you use as "hot" wire? the green one or the black one?
Title: Re: Artec Pickups
Post by: siore on May 10, 2010, 04:54:48 PM
Green is hot.  I don't think phase matters though, I have it wired 1 volume - 3 on/off toggles, and I just toggle each pup on and off individually to compare them.  If I move the pickup high, the volume relative to other pups balances out, so the guitar is still playable somewhat.  The thing I don't like is the weak output of the G and B string relative to others, it's fine with distortion and you can 'wing' it, but it's unusable on cleans if you could imagine.  I tried to take pics, but it's hard to position the camera and get a good angle that shows the heights.

As far as measurements, here they are:

              4mm                  4mm                     2mm
---------------------------------------------------------   (bottom of string)

^ Sir, have you noticed the weaker magnetic pull on the Artec Double Rails compared to your stock pick ups..?
In my case, I put 2 tiny strong magnets from a blown HDD to the bottom of the Artec Double Rails to match up with the magnetic pull of the stock pick ups...
However, I only have a couple of that magnets. I need maybe 6 or 8 more to match the length of the Artec Double Rails... hahaha
That trick works for me but I need more magnets from a HDD...

Well...

siguro kung paisa-isa mo gagamitin yun pick up like sa neck,neck lang..mid,mid lang...
pero kung gagamitin mo sa neck+mid, may konting kaibahan yun tunog Sir...O baka ako lang yun... hehehe

both have alnico 5 magnets and adjustable hex-key pole pieces (just like DM's!) I love the warmth and presence!  :lol: I'll just finish some tracks for the vid, so please stay tuned.  :-)

DC resitance:  Bridge= 17k ohms , Neck = 8.8k ohms

the set is just about the same price as an entry level Nokia phone or a pair of original Chuck Taylors  :lol:

I bought mine last night and installed it with coil tapping feature. What I can say is, it's way better than my Dimarzio SC sized humbucker before. It really gives the punch and the output I'm looking for not like the Dimarzio, which has fairly low output and could not balance with the outputs of my other pickups. Lastly, for the price, I'm guilt-free! It really rocks!

In here, white toggle switch is the coil tapping feature. Yellow switch is another story. It's more like what Buckethead and Tom Morello uses. :-D

just installed my dual rail sa strat ko last week... I followed the diagram pati na yung pagtrouble shoot as posted by sir daks sa previous page.. Ito ngayon yung problem ko:
- masyadong mahina ang volume nya compared sa stock pups ng neck & mid.
- pagpinagsama ang rail with the middle pup ang lakas ng hum...
- lubog ang volume ng E string tapos sobrang lakas naman ang volume ng B string...
- if i tap each rail ng pup mas malakas ang output ng isang rail compared to the other.

---despite of these setbacks ayos talaga ang tunog. Nasubukan ko na lahat ng nakasaad sa thread na to especially yung kay sir daks pero ganun pa rin ang resulta....

my suggestions:

-check all soldering points. make sure na "lutung-luto" ang hinang and walang takas na wire/s, wag lang sana busted yung pickup selector mo, like yung nangyari kay ninmei
-adjust the height of the pickup. taasan mo konti sa treble side. check the height in contrast with other pickups
-exchange the position of the green and black wires, or yung exchange the position of the hot and ground wires of your stock pickups
-to eliminate hum on position 4 (mid = bridge), gayahin mo yung "auto-split" wiring, as done in Ibanez JEM's and S.
-baka tumatama yung white and red wires sa isang ground point. shield the ends of it with a shrinkable tube or tape it (electrical tape) dun sa main insulator ng pickup conductor (dun sa rubber tube na black, wrap it there)

if all else fails, pickup selector nga yan. I've encountered that problem thrice already. palit ka lang ng switch, or trace the problem sa switch; baka may naharangan or nabali na tab

installed the rails this afternoon. sounds good,  :evil: but i have a question, is it normal when you touch the rails it buzzes?.. i mean if you touch only the rails(poles) nothing else. when i do it on my neck pup, no buzz, but on the rails.

demo coming soon sir,  :-D for the sound it reminds me of my gibson sg, but less muddy, impressive nga eto,. but still trying to figure out whats wrong sa wiring ko, hehe

I'm still a bit skeptic.. haha. So i need your input since we have the same guitar. Twice na ako pumunta ng Hi Fi Lounge thinking na bibili ako ng artec rails. I'll wait for your demo.  :-)

May naka try na ba nung telecaster neck pickup ng artec?

all i can say right now is ok na ok, very strong and sounds like a humbucker talaga mapa clean man o drive, and im pretty much satisfied, for what its worth, sulit talaga, pero still having some wiring problems, maybe because hindi ako magaling mag solder, hehe, gawa akong demo nito, naputol ko kasi strings ko kanina, nasobrahan sa test drive.

of course it will buzz when you touch the rails or poles without touching any ground point, like the strings, machine heads, or bridge/saddles. try shielding your cavities  :-) question; what wires did you use as ground? did you shield the ends of the red and white wires?

ganun nga sir. no problem naman kasi its very hard to reach when playing w/o grounding, i just found it weird, hehe. the black wire and the bare wire for the ground then green is the hot, nka sheild naman yung red and white together., overall its great. hehe

my artec giovanni GCH2 pickups arrived today from guitarfuel, for my Ibanez RT150..i also got a response from SD and Dimarzio that the GG wiring(H-S-H) can only be possible with a super switch,

GG wiring is

1 - Neck humbucker
2 - Outside coil of neck humbucker and middle pup
3 - Outside coils of both humbuckers
4 - Inside coil of bridge humbucker and middle pup
5 - Bridge humbucker

so instead im doing the RT150 wiring + a neck bypass switch(gkg inspired)

w/push pull pot off

1- Neck Humbucker
2- Outside coil of neck humbucker and middle pup
3- Middle Pup
4- Inside coil of bridge humbucker and middle pup
5- Bridge Humbucker

w/push pull pot on (hot wires the neck pickup to any pickup in any position)

1- Neck Humbucker N/A
2- Outside coil of neck humbucker and middle pup N/A
3- Middle Pup + Neck Humbucker
4- Inside coil of bridge humbucker and middle pup + Neck Humbucker
5- Bridge Humbucker + Neck Humbucker

anyway here it is

Hi,

Has anyone tried to wire the double rails as series/parallel on the bridge? And how does it sound along with a stock single coil RWRP middle pickup for a strat in position 4, i.e., bridge (series, default) + middle and bridge (parallel) + middle? Sir Dax, any thoughts on this? Thanks in advance....


By default wiring, i find the double rails in the bridge on its own for a clean setting OK. On a dirt setting, this pickup really shines. its really meant to rock!

Two thumbs up for this low-cost alternative pickup solution.  8-)

It sounds fine when you blend it with a RWRP mid pickup. Just find the right hot wire (either the green or black) for you.

oh yeah! Tone Zone-esque eh?  :lol:

not really,

BRIDGE:

its really bright sounding than a tonezone, mid hump is noticeable and then the highs are there and can be shrill when paired with a bright sounding guitar setup (stainless steel hardware + alder body + pickguard + low-mid string action setup)

so to counter that i had to raise the bass side and lower the highs as far as my pickup is set, so it is at an angle so when you looked it from the bridge it looks like '\' but not that much of a slope..

NECK:

the neck pup is the close to the exact opposite of the bridge pup has a lot of bass and it can over power the highs if the pickup was installed in a leveled position. so i angled the pickup the opposite way on how the bridge pickup was angled but more sunken than it, its a really bassy neck pup..

overall a decent pickup combo but needs some tweaking to get it balanced

It sounds fine when you blend it with a RWRP mid pickup. Just find the right hot wire (either the green or black) for you.

Thanks. I did also an auto-split wiring as suggested from previous posts and it works. Green wire as hot. No phasing problem with the middle pickup.

Just for keeps, i set the pickup height with reference to the bottom of the strings to the top of the rail/blade while pressing on the last fret as follows:

    high E = 1/16 of an inch
     low E = 3/32 of an inch

for the neck and middle pickups:

    high E = 3/32
     low E = 1/8

This allows balance of volume among the pickups especially with the middle(SC) and bridge(double rails) individually and combined.

2. raise the mid and neck pickups, maintain or lower the height of the bridge

magsi-switch ka lang ng hot wire dun sa dual rail pag siya mismo ang may volume drop / "out of phase" sound when combined with the mid pickup

up for this question.  :-)

Nasagot na ni sir dax yung tanong ko na yun sa PM. Sabi niya, isang model pa lang daw, yung HBBA-117 ata yun. Alnico magnets. Nung nag-pm siya (april pa yun), around P850 raw. Dumaan ako last month sa TMS Cubao, P750 na lang sabi ng staff dun. Bumaba ata presyo e. And dat's good. :-D Sadly, di pa rin ako nakakabili dahil sa inasikaso ko muna ang iba pang factors ng tone ko. Any user reviews out there?

correction: the 7-string pickup (HBA-117) is really worth 850. the one you might be referring to is the HBBA-XBB (my favorite!  :lol: ), which is cheaper by a hundred bucks, because it's the 6-string version.  :-)

that's the only SC-sized strat bucker that Artec makes (aside from the one with ceramic magnets). one more thing; why should we get something else more expensive when the standard dual rail already sounds good and sells like siomai?  :lol: :lol: :lol:

the SBA73C is versatile enough. One thing I liked about it is iit cleans up well when you roll down the volume pot.  :-)

ilan po ba yung wires ng artec double rail??
dalawa lang ba ikakabit?

5 wires.

by default:

bare + black = ground
green = hot (to signal / pickup selector)

remember to keep the red and white wires soldered together and shielded (with electrical tape or shrinkable tube), unless iwa-wire mo siya ng auto-split or may pang coil tap switch ka.

To Dakuykoy,

Sir, I am very intrigued already about Artec Pickups. I wonder, meron na bang available nung GVS-1 neck and middle? I want that to be in combination with GCS-2 bridge. I hope may available. Is it also possible to PM me the price of all 3 pickups if available? Thanks.

actually, hindi na akin yun. kay kuya Jon dela Cruz na yon. 500 per pickup installed. yung dual rail na pang-strat, for all positions na yon. again, if you'll use it sa neck, use 500k pots.

yep, till September 30. Ok lang, isama mo na yung rail.

if frets ang issue, better bring it to a luthier. I don't have the right tools for that matter sa ngayon..  :-)

you can use the Artec HBBA-XBB or Entwistle HDN (see the other thread)

SBA73C if you need something like the Pro Track

*don't worry, I won't push those stuff to the public if they aren't any good  :-)

Artec and Entwistle both offer different models; and those include high-output / heavy-sounding ones.

You can get an Entwistle Dark Star or Artec GCH-2 for the bridge. Then get an SC-sized Artec dual rail for the neck. If you really want a true single coil, you can get an Entwistle XS62N. See Entwistle pickups thread for reviews and info

sir dax wala pading stocks sa hifi lounge nung HBBA-XBB... T_T next week na lang lagi ng next week..... pwede po ba dalhan niyo sila ng stocks? ang layo kasi ng cubao sa laguna eh.... Thanks!

may discount with a minimum of  a pair till September 30.

oo nga bro. lage wala stock dun. puntahan na lang natin si sir dax sa cubao. taga calamba lang ako.

Alright, since I only have 3 weeks, please contact me ASAP and so I can personally visit Hi-Fi for replenishment, or install them if needed. My apologies for the logistics' lapses. They're quite far from the main warehouse, hope you understand.

ano pinaka ok na pang metal humbuckers ng artec? yung ma mids tumunog at high output tipong tonezone or invaders.

Get the Entwistle Dark Star or Artec GCH-2, or standby for the incoming Artec HBL series; those full-sized humbucking dual rails.

two models yun eh. I still have to check when I test them when they arrive. I don't want to say anything until I have personally tried them. Pero reading the specs, one of them is kinda scooped.

demo demo demo! hahahaha nice for your edwards!

Demo? LOL, practice muna ako para ma justify ko yung tunog ng pups haha :lol:, anyways, just to give you an idea on what it sounds like, GCH1 pwedeng from Blues to Hard Rock n Roll sound, tried it on a peavey delta blues amp on a crunch setting through a bad monkey,

Guitar:
Edwards E-LP-98LTS

Amp Setting:
gain  - 8 o clock(mga nasa 2 ang level ng gain)
EQ setting Bass/Mid/Treble 6/5/5

Bad Monkey:
gain - 12 o clock
Level - 12 o clock
Bass - 3 o clock
Treble - 12 o clock

Crunch(Bad Monkey off): The pups responded well on picking dynamics, light strum/picking gives you a clear clean sound, hard strum/picking gives a fat sound best suited for blues playing

Overdriven(Bad Monkey on): Makes the geetar sing :-D, nice tone, despite being overdriven, you can still hear all strings being strummed, the "djeng" or "breng" sound that I'm looking for :-)

Sa mga black ang need, try muna natin yung incoming (wala pa dito, hopefully by end of the month) na HBWA-XBN na black cover (same as HBBA-XBB, except for the nickel pole-pieces)

Hello mga master, makikiraan lang po  :-D

Nagtanong na po ako sa forum tungkol sa pag-improve ng RJ Tele ko :http://talk.philmusic.com/board/index.php/topic,198797.0/topicseen.html

And recommendation po sa kin eh yung Artec pickups nga. Tanong ko lang po kung anong model ang best for a nice, meaty sound; I'm not looking to turn my Tele into a Les Paul or metal-machine but I'm looking for something heavier and crisper -- medyo ngongo kasi ang tunog niya ngayon eh  :lol:

itago mo sa baul ng lolo mo tapos balikan mo pag may apo ka na rin  :lol: :lol: :lol:

anyway, ayon sa google na mahiwaga, pwede daw coffee or brown shoe polish (baka pwede rin dyobos), depende pa rin sa magiging reaction niya sa plastic; either mantsahan niya talaga or not at all. ingat na lang  :-)

kung gagawin mo yung sa coffee or dyobos, WAG NA WAG mong iba-babad yung buong pickup! magtimpla ka ng malaput-lapot (konti lang tubig), then diskartehen mong sakto na yung ibabaw lang ng bobbin talaga ang naka-soak dun sa liquid (ibaba mo nang konti yung pole-pieces para di abutin).

..pwede ring mag-yosi ka lang ng mag-yosi habang nag-gigitara, tiyak maninilaw yon  :lol: Not advisable though, pero it would work  :-)

pero oo nga, try mo ring pausukan ng yosi. wag mo lang masyado idikit yung baga (ember, not your lungs  :-) ) at baka ma-deform naman yung plastic  :-)

Sir Dax, saan makikita mga desciption ng pedals na to? Gamit ko ngayon GCS1 for my strat: high output and balanced sound.

Right now, I'm looking for that John Mayer tone: deep bass, rich mids and glassy tonal shape. At ayon sa website ng Artec, GCS2 yata ang malapit sa sound na yun. Do you have any suggestions Sir Dax?

Thanks in advance.

hi mga sir,
Nakabili ko artec rail pickup (SBA73C), humbucker na single coil. Pano ba wiring nito? Wire colors are White, Red, Black, Green. Alin ba branded kagaya nito ng wire colors?

Dimarzio and Seymour Duncan wiring codes are:
(http://64.19.142.10/www.1728.com/humbuck.gif)

Sa artec, white/red & black/green ang nka pair twist pero sa likod ng pup. Nasa upper coils ang white & black, sa lower coils naman yung red & green.

Pano ko ba white yung artec ng series lang?
Same lang ba sa Seymour Duncan?
Ganito ba: black(+), red/white(shorted), green(-)??

Sa artec, white/red & black/green ang nka pair twist pero sa likod ng pup. Nasa upper coils ang white & black, sa lower coils naman yung red & green.

Pano ko ba white yung artec ng series lang?
Same lang ba sa Seymour Duncan?
Ganito ba: black(+), red/white(shorted), green(-)??


wala bang kasamang wiring diagram yung artec? or at least yung color coding?

Mukang SD wiring nga, medyo naduling lang ako. Nka-solder na pala yungRED/WHITE wire.

Problem ko nalang yung butas ng single coil sa guitar ko. Hindi kasya Artec kasi sabit sa kahoy.

Sana lang may ganito Artec:

baliktarin mo yung black at green (green = hot, black=ground)

i-check ang polarity ng magnets, alternate dapat (north-south-north-south, etc.)

siguraduhing shielded yung red and white wires if hindi ita-tap

tsaka wag iibig sa badaf..


wala bang kasamang wiring diagram yung artec? or at least yung color coding?

down yata yung site ng Artec ngayon, pero meron dun yung General Wiring Book, under pickups section

...tapos pagpasok mo.. Malabon na yon. sakay ka ng tricycle papuntang Makati

Alin sa wiring sir? Yun din naman ang dating wires nun. Maayos din pagka-solder ko, nilagyan ko din extra ground wires yung pots & selector. Yung ibang guitars ko tahimik kahit nka todo overdrive. Try ko bawasan ng wires, bka masyado mahaba.

It should sound much like a humbucker kasi hum-cancelling siya. hum-cancelling = humbucker.  :-)

Kaya pwede mo rin yan isplit if you want to get a single coil sound. Para dun yung extra wires na magkadikit at tinakpan lang ng tape.  :-)

...Kasi pinalitan ko yung SSS strat copy ko ng bridge na GSC1 and mahina yung GCS1 compared sa ibang nakainstall na pickup. Ang naiba lang, yung pinalitan kong pickup may magnet sa ilalim, ganun dun yung stock na middle and neck pickup. (just a thought na ito yung cause bakit mahina yung gcs 1) Isa pa, maiksi din yun wire nung GCS1 kaya nagdugtong na lang ako ng wire, not sure kung ano yung size nung wire. Does it make a difference ba?

pag may magnet sa ilalim yung pickup they're using ceramic. pag wala naman, that's alnico pickups katulad nung artec mo. usually, mas lower output ang mga alnico compared to their ceramic counterpart with the same reading (resistance, etc.)

Yup ceramic nga lang yung stock pickups. Ok lang ba lagyan ko ng magnet sa ilalim yun GCS1 or same din ang output kahit meron? Pede din bang masira yung GCS1 kung lalagyan ng magnet?

may possibility na humina yan pag nagdugtong ka lang, lalo pag poorly tied and soldered.

maikli? that's supposed to have some allowance.

pag mahina ang output:

1. adjust the pickup height
2. check your soldering, baka hilaw or may frayed wire ends
3. your pickup switch might be busted, dirty or damp

At WAG mo lalagyan ng magnet sa ilalim yun; it might drain your alnico's charge.. and for sure, it would have some effect on tone and volume

60 cycle hum from single coils is different from ground problems. Kahit wala kang ground problems at maganda ang sheilding ng gitara at grounding ng bahay, andyan pa rin ang 60 cycle hum ng single coils. Pag di maganda ang grounding ng bahay, may 60 cycle hum ka na sa single coil, may ground issues ka pa mag humahawak ng metal parts.

Sa hum cancelling pickups or humbuckers, nacacancel yung 60 cycle hum. Hindi ground problems.

There are, like SFA12WH-B, SHXNABK-B, SSA12IV-B and a few more at P550 only. Visit the Music Source near you for more details  :-).

Do you have the specifications? DC resistance, magnet type, resonant peak, recommended position, etc? This would be very helpful to all of us who are using and to those who are about to use Artec pickups especially when planning to have a match set for neck, middle, bridge pickups.

Thanks in advance.

Sorry for the late reply. The HB came from my wolfgang.

The Artec Ivory's cost only 550 each may discount if you get more than one.
As for the short review, it's a bit hot similar to the GFS.

Guys if you need help with soldering your PU's I can help you. I can charge at a low price of 100 bucks na lang just for a straight solder. If you want a new wiring configuration that would be another story. Just text me 0928- 5 5 4 0 3 9 2

Naku kaibigan, hindi ako masyadong pamilyar sa mga pickups nila, lalo na sa voicing. Pero nakapag tanong ako kay sir dakuykoy minsan, kung ang gusto mong tugtugan ay medyo aggressive at mabigat, recommended niya ay yung Artec Giovanni GCH-2. High output kasi yun.

Kung 80s na tunog ang hanap mo, I think any pickup will work (vintage output, medium output, high output). Nasa amp mo na yan at pedals kung kaya nilang ideliver yung gusto mong tunog. Magiging mas clear lang ang tunog pag high output ang ginamit mo.

Ano bang amp at effects ang gamit mo sa ngayon para makuha yung 80s metal sound?

Bakit? What's wrong with the inf? Anyway, MT2 might not sound too good with the LX20 din bro, take that into consideration. If you're looking for a boomy at buo at malaking sound, you're LX20 can't handle it. Get a bigger amp first to sever as the platform of your tone searching. But anyway, if you want to go the "pickup-change-route", go ahead. Though a bigger amp would have a more drastic effect on your sound. And I mean, DRASTIC, in a positive way.  :-)


Salamat Sir r_chino18

Sa umpisa magulo. Pero once you get the hang of it, madali lang din. Especially if you'll use the pickup as a series humbucker (no coil split nor parallel wirings) kasi hot at ground lang ang hahanapin mo. The next two wires will be soldered together and taped off.  :-)

But it's good the you got it right in just one try. Kudos to you and dax.  :-)

Hello, New here. But I'd like to thank sir dakukoy for installing Artec dual rails on my Tele copy, It really sounds great. Just want to share my experience with this great pickup, I had it palced on the Bridge position. The output itself is great but noticed that with a tele it produced too much "Ice Picking" So I've a done alot of adjustments on the pickup's height and sure enough I was able to get a solid sound without loosing the twang at the same time the output is really great, I feel I was able to get my desired sound, I did notice one thing though the treble was a bit more crisp, on other guitars I guess it's fine but too much "Ice picking in the ear" is a bit too much for me so, So I had to 2adjust the pickup with more mids than treble, and sure enough I was able to get it. This is a great pickup for an alnico V it sure gives much needed output just like ceramic pickups.

But that's just me. :roll: And the price is definitely right for these! Anyway, for the TMS folks, any more information on the SSA12-IV? I know these use an alnico magnet, pero anong klase po ng alnico? Can't find much information on these on the net, mas sikat talaga yung Giovanni. TIA!

Guys, what's a nice Artec/Giovanni pickup that helps in clearing mud? My 335 semihollow is mahogany and so it really contributes to the bassy-ness of the neck pickup. I need something that can twang out for the neck.

What's on the neck is a GFS 180. And I'm also thinking maybe a treble bleed on this might work, but I'm open to the option of a new pickup. :)

GFS 180 on the neck and it still sounds a bit bassy? wow. Hmm. Imo, treble blled only works pag nagroll down ka ng volume mo. It preserves that treble that you have. Pag laging maxed ang volume pot mo, I don't think it'll have a drastic effect, or I may be wrong.

Anyway, try to look for some PAF type of pickups with an Alnico 2 magnet, that gives a really god acoustic-like tone to it (at least, for solid bodied guitars). I dunno, though, if Artec has them.

check your tone capacitors. If they are 0.047uf (microfarad), change them to 0.022uf.

depending on the cap value, treble bleed can have an effect to overall tone even when the volume pot is at 10. I use a 331picofarad cap for treble bleed on my twin-humbucker guitars. The highs are somehow boosted (sort of single coil-ish character; think of Joe Satriani's tone)

anyway, a Giovanni GVH-2 or GCH-1 would fit that.  :-)

Yeah my caps are Les Paul specs, Orange Drop caps that are .022uf in fact. Would it matter to switch that before testing a giovanni?

maraming salamat sir!

dax recommended me to put AS57N on the neck position. the AS57N has a more treble in character. mas ok sana, but my problem is if i install AS57N on my guitar, i might need to re-route my guitar. mas malalim kasi ang poles ng AS57N. mukhang di magkakasya sa cavity ng strat ko.

check the cavity of your guitar, kung mukang medyo malalim naman, then go for the AS57N. Otherwise, just put the XS62N. panalo din yun. makapal tumunog. warm yet buhay na buhay ang highs and mid.

Yeah my caps are Les Paul specs, Orange Drop caps that are .022uf in fact. Would it matter to switch that before testing a giovanni?

those are some pretty cool caps getting one myself at 0.047uf, Newey you might want to try 50's wiring instead of treble bleed, it worked better for me since it took away the mud on my overal tone, plus it made my mix position "in phase" with eachother sincewithout it it seems to be "out of phase" newey I have a 0.047uf mylar cap, and since you have 0.022 caps coupled with hums this should work in letting the highs roll   :-)

Where and how do I get the 50's wiring?

Post by: soulexp on December 19, 2010, 09:43:48 PM
sorry as well hehehe :lol: but sure it helped my artec dualrails increase it's treble, It's an easier take on the treble bleed without putting on  caps and resistors, on a 335 I believe it's modern w/ independent volume control, depending on how it's wired, If your 335 is with Lespaul specs then this link below should help you out there. note that this wiring is not for independent control. just try switching the wire for the 3way selector and the pups and keep the caps on the 1st lug on the volume and the otherend on the 1st lug on tone,

http://www.lespaulforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=102115

50's wiring is my favorite mod they say that that there wouldnt be no difference when the volume pot is set on 10 but just while listening to it you'd here an increase with treble and balance, Well maybe it just with my guitar I dont know. My artec dual rail seems to benefit from this since it has a tonal characteristic of lo-6 mid-7 hi-8 and since I have high treble on a tele it seems to cause too much "ice picking" for me thus I had to tone it down causing it to produce a bit of mud, while with the treble bleed It made it bright, well too much bright even on my neck pickups and to think I have 0.047uf caps.  :-)

For the mean time I just got the specs for single coil artec pups for stratocaster type guitars. enjoy  :-)


Btw I got this directly from TMS was just asking for the tech specs for my dual rails and he was so kind to give me the whole list, kudos to that guy who sold me the stagg gig bag. My best buy of the week.  :lol:

Cool,  : 8-) saves me the trouble. the list I have also included what it sounds like, though it's not complete  :-( unlike this list. Newey daks just got a quick question I measured the dcr on my artec dual rail plugged in on the guitar and I'm reading at around 10k on the meter could it be cause Its running through the electronics, unsure on this one though I got new 3 pickups today and they all showed me pretty much the closest reading to what it was suppossed to be. was just wondering  :-).

Hey guys! Does TMS Ali Mall install pickups?

I'm looking to switch out the stock pickups on my Fernando MIK strat to Artec rails on the neck and bridge (good idea ba? I switch lead and rhythm parts a lot with our second guitarist eh), I can probably DIY the installation pero if I'd always want someone better to do it for me if I could. I wonder if I'll have to change stuff out from the electronics like knowbs and stuff too. It'll be my first time to do all these actually.

Thanks in advance!

Pareho silang Artec Tele Rails, pero notice the difference sa construction at haba ng rails.

the first one belongs to me and the 2nd one belongs to nasyo

narinig ko po kse mura ung PUPs ng artec. advise nmn po tska kung anu dpat kong kunin..

GCH's and GVH's are humbuckers for bridge and neck.

IMHO...Its better to change the stock pups of a GIO(I myself upgraded my GIO's pups)....Not saying that stock sounds bad...But if you want to have tonal characteristics and more richness and clarity then changing the pups is recommendable...Its like putting headers on your car's engine...hehe

And yeah...theyre quite affordable and yet recommendable.

What to get?

well, Dax recommends using XS57N on the neck and XS62N on the middle. then on the bridge, that would be up to you if you'd like either of the aforementioned pups or go for the dula rails for the bridge.


NOTE:

57's require additional routing on the neck pup cavity coz they're taller than the average pickup.

that's why i got a pair of 62's on the neck and middle. and a rail type bridge pickup.

well, Dax recommends using XS57N on the neck and XS62N on the middle. then on the bridge, that would be up to you if you'd like either of the aforementioned pups or go for the dula rails for the bridge.


NOTE:

57's require additional routing on the neck pup cavity coz they're taller than the average pickup.

that's why i got a pair of 62's on the neck and middle. and a rail type bridge pickup.
question lang. i have installed xs62n on both neck and middle position ng strat ko and dual rail sa bridge. sounds way better sa bulok kung stock pickup. pero i noticed that if i place the 5-way selector sa positio ng dual rail and neck pickup walang effect ang pagadjust ko ng tone knob but if i play the middle or neck pickups individually (and any position except the aforementioned bridge an middle combination) gumagana naman. ano kaya ang naging mali ko sa pag-install?

because cheif it's wored in with the standard strat wiring for master volume, neck tone, and mid tone. You might be lookin to have this wired for master vol, master tone and something else like a blend pot for the neck and bridge.

     nalito ako ahh....alin ba? neck and rail bridge combi???

 basta ang typical wiring is that

the tone knobs work for the ff: neck alone, neck and middle, middle alone and middle and bridge, BUT it won't work for the bridge alone.

I think what sir juanito4885 is refering to is the typical wiring setup for strats with the tone knobs used for the neck and mid pickup. though the line

Hum? Hindi naman parang grounding problem? Pacheck mo nalang bro sa luthier to fix the entire wiring. Baka tama pagkakasolder sa pickup pero internally, baka hindi pala ok ang grounding ng gitara, kulang sa sheilding, etc.

Kahit patay ang OD/Distortion mo? Ang sabi kasi sakin ng guitar tech sa TMS Festival mall aka Hi-Fi Lounge, hindi naman talaga totally hum-cancelling ang dual rails pero as for my experience, it doesn't really removes all the hum when your dirt ped is on but it reduces a lot. But still, it really does the job. I love the way it sounds.

Bridge plays bright but smooth tones, just the way i like it. Ganda gamitin for chord playing. But neck is super swabe. Ganda ng pagkatunog ng sustain and hindi nagiging muddy tunog.

My LP is a Yamaha SL-450s. In comparison yun stock bridge nun bitin yun tunog tapos yun neck can be muddy at times.

I'm leaning towards more of hard rock/classic rock. Medyo mahal kasi yung GVH-1 (2k each?) so I'm
asking for a second opinion on either of the cheaper options.

Up to TMS for offering excellent but affordable pickups.

For 2k each sulit na yun. I think they got cash discounts coz i got mine for 1.7k each.

I got the humbucker for my tele. I'm not sure if I wired it wrong pero grabe pa rin yung feedback. The sound got heavier, but the feedback is still the same. I'm not sure where I went wrong. Am I supposed to change the volume and tone pots? My soldering seems solid enough. I bought it from TMS cubao noon pa, I was wondering if I could request for an installation. Hmm.

Wala namang hum sa tele ko nung na-install ko na. Minimal lang pag mataas yung gain, nung kinabit ko yung pup ko, nilagyan ko ng shielding yung bare/ground wire kasi nabo-bother ako sa kanya. Hehe. Then i did some setup/modifications tas ayun, wala na talagang hum kahit mataas ang gain:

Coil tap/split. - tumahimik siya kahit naka tap.
Try mo rin lagyan ng aluminum tape yung chamber ng gitara mo, pati yung takip. Nakakatulong yun ng maigi.

ayus pala yung hbba na humbucker akala ko problem yung mahina yung magnet nya. Pero ang lakas pala nito at mahiyaw ang tunog pag binebend yubg string ng guitar. Ngayon ay rewire na lang kailangan ko para mamaximize ko yung humbucker need some pots change.

mahina nga daw yung magnet ni mga HBBA as per Max Rufo nung pina-install ko sa kanya sa guitar ko. sobrang tuwa ko dito sa pickups na to. ang mura na, comes in different colors, the best of all maganda tunog. hindi decent for the price a, maganda. nakaka-tatlong bili na ko: 2 HBBA-neck at 1 HBBA-bridge. maganda lahat. so siguro hindi na tsamba sa tunog yung mga nabili ko. :)

Post by: Mardk on January 11, 2012, 03:00:52 AM
Wala namang hum sa tele ko nung na-install ko na. Minimal lang pag mataas yung gain, nung kinabit ko yung pup ko, nilagyan ko ng shielding yung bare/ground wire kasi nabo-bother ako sa kanya. Hehe. Then i did some setup/modifications tas ayun, wala na talagang hum kahit mataas ang gain:

Coil tap/split. - tumahimik siya kahit naka tap.
Try mo rin lagyan ng aluminum tape yung chamber ng gitara mo, pati yung takip. Nakakatulong yun ng maigi.
109php lang yung aluminum tape sa ace hardware.

Thanks sa tip sir. Shielded na ng aluminum tape yung cavity at pickguard nung tele ko. Pero di ko nashield yung bare/ground wires. That might be the culprit.

correction: the 7-string pickup (HBA-117) is really worth 850. the one you might be referring to is the HBBA-XBB (my favorite!  :lol: ), which is cheaper by a hundred bucks, because it's the 6-string version.  :-)

mahirap makahanap sa TMS, pumuta ako dati sa cubao at sa raon tas hindi nila alam kung kelan magkakaroon ng stock eh,
dito lang ako bumili sa classifieds 1k sa dalawa for tele bridge and yung sa neck pang strat bridge, pwede naman sa neck ng tele basta palitan mo ng 500k pots volume/tone at unting mod sa pickguard. binili ko ung pots at .047 orange drop sa epektos.com,  tingin lang sa classifieds sir, may mahahanap ka din,..

Mga sir! ano po magandang artec pickup bagay sa ibanez RG320 floyded? basswood body

ang mahal kasi ng dimarzio tonezone + air norton combo eh...

ano po artec combo pickup na bagay? clear and warm, high output? mga magkano po sila sa shop? may pricelist ba sila online? link?

try to check with TMS (www.TheMusicSource.ph (http://www.TheMusicSource.ph)) .. kung tagaSouth ka may branch sila sa Festival Mall Alabang. Helpful naman yung attendants nila dun, sabihin mo lang anong pickup preference mo or kung anong katulad niya sa SD or Dimarzio.

Or pwede din yung mga Tesla pups sa Lyric stores. (OT na)

Or.... abang abang ka lang ng 2nd hand TZ/AN sa Classifieds bro... gudluck and happy hunting! (OT ulit)

@vittobrat: hindi ko pa natry ang mga artec pedals, can you share your setup and some soundclips? nagpaplano kasi ako magtry ng analog pedals (mfx kasi ako from the start :oops:), currently looking at either Joyo or Artec  :-\


@nitroaurora: thank you pre..  :razz:

here's how i patch my effects line:
infront of the amp
(from guitar to amp)

Ibanez RG3210F - TS808 - Shredhead - Artec Gainer Booster - Amp (Laney 25W)

then at the back of the amp
(effects loop)
(send to return)
artec compressor - Boss TR2 - Boston Chorus - Boston Equalizer

I suggest that you all go to music source and try the artec gainer booster..
ang layo ng presyo sa ibanez BB9..
subtle ung effect nya sa clean channel pero sa lead channel..

RAPSAAAAHHHH!!!!!

note:
can't post my rig coz im an idiot!! don't know how to post it here at philmusic.
hope you could all help..

entwistles HDN set
artec GCH-2 set

ano po pinag kaiba nila? which is better?

Lima yun wires niya ( white, red, black, green, tsaka bare wire/ground?), now and wiring ng guitar ko with Infinity pickups, red, white and black lang. I am sure dun ko din isosolder kung saan nanggaling ang mga wire but I have no idea kung anong wires ang hindi ko isosolder, or pagdidikitin ko ba dun sa Artec pickup.

Thanks in advance.

d naman necessary bro, nakaDual Rails ako sa tele pero 250k yung volume and tone knobs (push/pull) ko. warmer yung tone pag mas mataas yung impedance, yung iba 1M ohm pa... although gusto ko din itry na mag-500k sa volume knob. antay din tayo ng inputs ng iba.

Anong model ng Artec yung magandang i-coil tap sa bridge position? Naghahanap ako ng flexible na tunog, all-rounder.

Hi guys. Just got myself a rails type strat pickup. Have a few questions. I'll be bringing the guitar to a luthier to get the pickups installed, do I still need to bring a wiring diagram for him? If I do, does anyone have one for this pickup? For position 4, I want the middle pickup on and the rails pickup split. And lastly, which pots should I replace? I've read that 500k pots are the best match for these. Do I have to replace all three? Sorry I really don't have a clue regarding this. TIA! :)

In your case, you should buy a super 5 way switch instead of the regular alpha 5 way switch. Thus, you can do the splitting you'd like to happen. Another option is using the regular 5 way switch but use a push and pull pot.

sa mga nakasubok na po, how do artec single coils compare to pickups like the ones on an sx strat or other generic strats? masarap ba sa tenga yung in-between neck and mid pickup position nya? yun lang kasi habol ko and ang budget ko ay pang artec lang.

Check the reading using a multimeter. High output dpat ang dualrails. Most likely sira ang isang rail niyan. Pag ang reading is paiba iba or dead yung isang rail isoli mo yan sira yan

Just got a used Artec dual rail for a Tele's bridge position. Would anyone know the color coding for this pickup? Not planning to do any coil tapping so I just need to know which leads need to be connected for a series wired humbucker. Salamat!

Recently wired one as well. I believe they followed Seymour Duncan's color code.

Red & white = soldered together and taped off/insulated
Black = hot, soldered to switch
Green = ground, soldered to ground with the bare wire

**If you get an out of phase sound with the neck pickup, just switch the black and green wires to get the correct phase. :)
