Thank you!
Never heard of Texas toast. I’m ordering one. That’s the most exciting guitar I’ve seen in a looong time.
Can a human not hear the difference resulting from the relative position of a pole through a magnet? If a "dogear" style p-90 has one adjustment eliminated can it truly be identical to a non dog-ear? I have several guitars with at least one p-90but, no dog-ear (as yet).
Why did you call them humbucking magnets?
I replaced the factory dogears on Epi Casino with Lollar dogear P90 pickups. Upgraded the pots and my Casino sounds like a really expensive guitar.
Those P90’s without ears mess with my feng- shui . The extra screws make me nauseous. I paint the mounting screws to match the pickup , it helps.
Dog ear shims are a good way to adjust the height
Thanks for this video, Dylan.
I have noticed that guitars seem much less experimental with form factor/pickup coil geometry and and placement than basses.
If you haven't done so already, could you please do a future video comparing different bass pickup form factors/coil geometries (P, J, soapbar, MM, etc.) so we can get a sense of what they sound like?
For example, 5 string soapbar basses seem to be very common now. Instead of bass builders trying to make a PJ 5 string bass, many pickup manufacturers will try to fit PJ style coils into a soapbar housing. I think this is a compromise.
My opinion is the soapbar trend in basses is more for manufacturing convenience, and I am not convinced a soapbar bass emulating a PJ bass sounds like a real PJ. The P coils have to be contained in a smaller soapbar housing, meaning they will sense the string at different points relative to the real P. You also don't often get the option of P vs. reverse P stagger in a soapbar.
The soapbar J also has issues about whether it is a humbucker emulating a single coil, stacked vs. side by side design, etc. I'm something of a purist and tend not to like hum canceling designs of single coil pickups, as to my ear they are less bright/articulate, are less dynamic, and flatten transients. I see their usefulness in live situations, though.
For those of us who like 5 and 6 string basses, it seems like everything is being forced on us as a soapbar, some even with four-six conductors plus ground.
It would make for a very flexible bass, but I would think differing coil sounds coming from a single soapbar would be mediocre compared to the real basses they are trying to emulate. The wiring could also get very complex. It seems like a lot of trouble for limited payoff.
I'm aware soapbars can sound like anything as they are just a form factor, but I hear them on mass produced rock and metal basses as generally mid scooped.
For those of us who want something a little more mid forward, I like a true PJ, but the problem is finding 5 and 6 string basses that are built for PJ pickups and not soapbars.
I'm wondering if it's worth it to try to track down a bass with the form factor I want and skipping the soapbar emulations.
Thanks.
I don’t like the looks of a Dogear. Even when I build a Junior type I’ll use a Soapbar.
Funny how Tha Beatles loved Epi's with P90z,like all us over 70 kidz do. Lyve 4evr Compadrez
Thankz 4 Tha Vidz. My Epi Wildkat has Dog P 90z Fabulous 2 crankup a tubeamp 2. Hit N U up 4 new PUpz Compadre
Now that's a sweet looking Texas Guitar ???? Thanks For Sharing ????????????????????✌️
Hi there!
I have a technical question if you want to make a vid about this topic…
What about a tele with a jazzbass configuración (no switch, 2 vol 1 tone)?
Two humbuckers, i like to play on the neck adding bridge volume to my taste
I havent found info about guitars with jazzbass configuration
Thanx..
my Epiphone Casino sent me here
Am thinkin P-90 is definitely the way to go ???? dog ear or not.
Good video on P90s.I have a singlecut Les Paul Special with 2 P100s.Are P100s just 2 mirror image P90s sharing the magnets between them?
Got both…love both …but my current production models use soap-bar P90's because I switched to a Hipshot string-through bridge design for all the models, which means the pickups have to be able to recess into the body more than a dog ear would allow…I love P90's, thanks to you ! They're my favourite pickup to make….and my favourite to play as well. That box of pickups is calling your name..hahaha. Cheers brother !
Funny how when he was discussing dog ears the pooch in the background seemed to perk up and play more. ???? great video Dylan!
Is it safe to assume that it's the same story with the humbucker sized P90?
Great explanation.
I have an Epi with soapbars, never owned dogears, but have played them.
Almost bought a.hollowbody with dogears, but tricky to do soapbars on that one
And yet you can find people online who insist there is more of a difference and it doesn’t matter what sources you use, they will not believe you.
I think some just assume a difference in sound, and some heard a dogear that was wound quite differently than a soapbar, or there were other things in the signal path.
But the truth is in this video.
What is a good starting height for the p90s?
Does raising the pole pieces on a p90 affect the tone the same as it does on a humbucker?
no pants were harmed in the making of this video
Man, that Texas Toast looks so much better than a Gibson.
if I was rich enough Id sure buy that groovy gold guitar. Beautiful ❤
