man ... some of these forums (not this one) ... I got what are supposed to be 'premium' humbucker BARE nickel silver covers. Just welded them on and re-installed. I HATE 'EM!!! They took all the schizzle, sizzle, sparkle ... whatever ya wanna call it away from the pups. It's more of a generic clean sound (still great). H
Having spent a couple weeks experimenting, one of the most pleasing things was that ever so slight but noticeable mildly fuzzy distortion that came of the pups when soloing ... it sounded big league! If I didn't hate the look of an exposed pickup, I'd easily throw away the covers. Tone did NOT get 'bassier' ... it just lost it's 'sparkle'.
Do any of yaz know what I'm babbling about???
Are there different covers that may retain the tonal qualities of the pup when uncovered or, is a wall is a wall is a wall?? If it is an obstruction by having the cover, I'll have to copy this set with black butryte bobbins instead of the double cream that they are.
