Humbucker pick up for a low budget musician?

[Hellghast]

hellghast were you just replacing your stock pickups? i thought it was coil-tap so you can get the single coil-ish sound? so is the 3 way switch the pickup switch? if so, you need another switch to tap the coil, i suggest a push-pull pot so no drilling is required

bali ginamit ko ung tone pot as the coil tap switch. when i roll it to zero naka humbucker mode and malakas parang gain booster. pag sinagad ko naman cya humihina and nagiging single-coilish cya. nakita ko lang tong mod na to eh pero di ko na maalala kung saang site. ang problem ko lang is ung wires kung tama ba yung mga pinagkabitan ko.

hay naku gifmen being cheap wala manlang wiring diagrams na kasama sa packaging.

yan ang rason kung bakit di ko maikabit-kabit yung binili kong gifmen pickups haha

the key is to find out what PU did it clone and then use the wiring diagram of that PU. hehe.

para sa akin, ayos ang gifmen.

[dakuykoy]

anyone else tried the Entwistle HDN Humbucker na?

that is something, those two wires that are soldered together is what i use to activate the coils, i usually add another wire to ground with it, but what you're explaining does sound familiar but that was with an active mod board, maybe your putting the wires off phase to thin out the signal,

two wires soldered together out of the box is yung yellow and green so hinayaan ko lang sila soldered parin. yun ba yung pang coil tap sir na sinasabi nyo? yung white wire kasi weak yung signal. yung red naman hot.

maybe i'll just try to mess with it pag sinipag haha babaklasin ko nalang ulit yung assembly.

yes that pre-wired wires is what you use to coil tap, i do imagine what you're trying to pull of here, but your wiring needs  to be rearranged, i can only envision the pre-soldered wires soldered into the tone pot's(no cap) signal out, and  your weak signal wire grounded to the pot, im not quite sure though

[chupao]

ke bossingboss ako umorder date dapat bilhin ko date for my rj tele SD hotrails tpos nag GFS ako half price lang siya nun SD pwede pang coil tap hum pups in a single coil size pup tpos pede mo ulet switch to single coil mode sayang nga eh tinrade ko sa lp tsk namiss ko tele ko

naalala ko 1.7k yun order ko kasama na shipping tpos meet up kayo kng san man

ahhhh so yung pre soldered wires is yung gagamitin ko sa pots and yung weak signal wire ang gagawing kong ground? so dalawa na ang ground ko which is the bare wire and the white (weak signal). will try this later.

thanks sir.

bali ginamit ko ung tone pot as the coil tap switch. when i roll it to zero naka humbucker mode and malakas parang gain booster. pag sinagad ko naman cya humihina and nagiging single-coilish cya. nakita ko lang tong mod na to eh pero di ko na maalala kung saang site. ang problem ko lang is ung wires kung tama ba yung mga pinagkabitan ko.

hay naku gifmen being cheap wala manlang wiring diagrams na kasama sa packaging.

aba ayos to ah.. tol bali pano na nanyari sa tone mo? always on na? ganun kasi gusto ko..isang knob lang ang guitar for volume tapos always ON ang tone since lage naman naka todo lang yun..

[Hellghast]

uu sagad parati ang tone. hindi nagiging ngongo yung sound. i did this mod since hindi ko din naman kelangan nang tone control sa warlock. buti kung LP cya or strat. pero warlock pang metal lang naman madalas eh.

[rockstan]

[myageoldthing]

low budget is always, always GFS Crunchy PAT ($23) for the bridge and GFS Vintage '59 ($35) for the neck.

[jerc_mirza]

Mga sir,question lang po..Ano po ba dc resistance nung chrome plated pup ng gifmen? Is it high output? Thanks..

[red_hot]

kung low budget stock ka na lang simple makuha din naman sa magandang amp yan eh

[r_chino18]

kung low budget stock ka na lang simple makuha din naman sa magandang amp yan eh

kung mahal na pickup nga hindi mapalitan eh.. magandang amp pa kaya.. edi sana lahat nalang bumili ng magandang amp at hindi na nagpalit ng murang pickup..

[fourth_cycle]

pwedi rin ba madagdagan yung tanong ni TS saan ba makahanap ng decent cheap floydorse set kahit dive bombs lng ang kaya na stay in tune ok na sa akin yan...

[red_hot]

kung mahal na pickup nga hindi mapalitan eh.. magandang amp pa kaya.. edi sana lahat nalang bumili ng magandang amp at hindi na nagpalit ng murang pickup..

huh ok!!! di naman kelangan bumili para makagamit ng magandang amp ok pwede naman sa studio or sa gig ... and wala naman ako sinabing bumili ng amp sir ok!!!

[r_chino18]

huh ok!!! di naman kelangan bumili para makagamit ng magandang amp ok pwede naman sa studio or sa gig ... and wala naman ako sinabing bumili ng amp sir ok!!!

yup.. wala nga.. wala rin nagsabing "magstock nalang".. kasi naghahanap talaga siya ng pamalit na humbucker..

sorry bro.. i don't mean to argue.. cool lang.. if you'd spend most of your time sa studio to get a good sound, mas malaki pa magagastos mo in the long run kaysa kung bibili ka ng sariling gamit.. just my two cents..
