neck or bridge pick-up?
« on: April 21, 2010, 07:30:01 AM »
till now, confused parin ako kung ano magandang pick up position ang gagamitin ko pag nag a-adlib/solo.

may time na nagagandahan ako pag naka bridge, at may time din na ok ang naka neck position.

Kayo po, what position po ba ang gamit nyo pag nagsosolo kayo?  :-)

that is the reason why there are neck and bridge (and middle) pickups; for you to get a variety of tones. use whatever suits your mood or the situation.  :-)

when i was just starting to shred years ago...

i would always use the neck pickup...

observation ko lang nuon, mga licks and runs ko sounded faster...

probably because mas bilog ang tunog...

if i do sweepings natatago niya ung dumi at mga minor na sabit.

pero pag bridge nas nahahalata mga sabit...



nowadays a prefer to solo using the bridge pickup...

my reason was mas lumulusot ang tunog niya sa mix...

mas maganda ang sigaw at bato ng mga bends...

at madaling maka-produce ng natural and artificial harmonics...

still needed to practice regularly para sa mga runs ko

para ma-maintain ko ang linis sa pag gamit ng bridge(madalas madumi pa din  :-P)

so now i just use my neck pickup sa mga clean and blues solos ko   :-D

if you want staccato type of sounds ala Nuno Bettencourt, or power chords stuff use the bridge..

for more legato effect, and depending how you strum (ala-acoustic guitar), use the neck.

I use both positions extensively, but if you're the type of player who plays harmonics like there's no tomorrow then the bridge position will work best for you.

i like to use my neck pickup pag singlecoils (legato style) but if humbucker mas trip ko yung bridge because sometimes my bridge(hb) gets muddy on my playing (maybe because of my pickups or my playing)

i use the neck pup for emotional/slow solos. yun mga tipong pang sexy time.

bridge pup naman gamit ko kapag gagamit ako ng wah pedal o kaya kapag yun tipong may angas or talim yun dating ng solo ko.

btw, i can't shred kaya ganyan ang preference ko sa paggamit ng neck and bridge pups.

ako wala  :-D sa ngayon pag trip ko lang bilog at feeling ko manipis tunog ko gusto ko makapal lipat ako sa neck PU
pag trip ko lutang ang lead at matalas sa bridge ako
wala akong rule na sinusunod depende din sa nasetup ko, di ka naman laging sure kung perfect ung pagkakasetup mo kaya sa pick-up ako nagaadjust at sa mga tone controls (mas mabilis) kinikilala ko lang ung gitara tunog ng gitara ko (tama kaya tong ginagawa ko?  :lol: )
or cguro talagang inexperienced pa ako sa tugtugan   :lol:

mas maganda talaga kung ma-experience mo siyempre.

before may nagsabing matalas daw ung rhythm na pangkaskas ko...pero ok lang naman tunog ko sa stage.

may nagsabi naman na dapat ganito settings mo sa stage para ok ang tapon sa house...

kung pwede lang sana maging dalawa wangkata mo para mapakinggan mo sarili mo sa labas at loob.

maganda din na magpa-jam ka gamit ang gear mo.

para madinig mo din kung ano settings mo to a listeners point of view    8-)

I use neck for my blues tone. If distorted, naka bridge ako. Mas clear eh.  :-D

abuse pick up selector switch... :lol:

nasanay na ako na pitik pitik sa selector masisira na sakin yun

pag melodic (high gain dirt + delay + reverb ang effects) at medyo dramatic ang dating ng solo..ginagamit ko bridge..kasi ang tining ng tunog at hindi matatabunan ng ibang instrument..

pag strumming.. middle selector lalo na pag H-H config

legato,shred.sweep type mag neck position ka..

pag pinag combine mo yan..ma aabuse ang selector switch mo hehehe
