SC

[Jens Westerinen]

Hi!

I've never tried a Smith with sc-pickups or even heard one that I know had it. Does anyone have any suggestion of a vid/track/sample where I could here one. Not a Burner though.

Thanks.

SC as in single coil? Ken doesn't use single coil pick-ups in his basses, however, there are those out there that have re-wired the Smith soap-bars to a single coil .

Thanks.

Even if this were available, it would not be a good representation to go on. Your best and only option would be to try a bass that is wired as single coil, using your amplification, to hear the results for yourself.

But the BSR 'J', doesn't those have single coils?

No, those are stacked coil humbucking J's.

Ok. Well, then this thread is dead. It was them I wanted to know how they sounded.

They sound good! Single coil pickups do not cancel Hum when soloed or mixed from center 50/50. That is the whole point of humbuckers, to get rid of the 60 cycle hum. Why would anyone want to BUY Hum? I don't get it!
