Clapton hasn,t used them in quite a while. And they are active pickups.

It doesn't matter, Jake. From what you said last week, music is fake.

Correct!


Incorrect! Lace Sensors are passive pickups unless they're wired up to a pre-amp (like the Clapton Mid-boost PCB)


Hehehe!

I was scared to be the first to post on this thread just in case Jake decides to wipe his post history (again) and leave me as the author...

Tbazzone, you might want to quote Jake in your first post mate!

Cheers!

Andy

Thanks Andy I didn,t even think of that. I,ve never heard the Lace P/U,s without the mid boost, how do they sound.

If you aren't satisfied with your current sound, play some real music. I promise, it'l sound amazing.

Personally I like the sound....



...Alot!

They have a very contemporary tone that's as noiseless as a true single coil gets and they take pre-amps and effects very nicely (IMO). Great build quality and slightly more sustain than most pickups as they have very little string pull due to clever design.

All the pro's are found in the sales talk on the Lace Website

The con's are mainly that they don't sound or (in certain cases) respond dynamically like conventional single coil pickups do. Some find the Sensors slightly compressed "Hi-Fi" tone undesirable and at times that includes me too! If I only had one guitar I'd have a traditional set of pups, but I'm very fortunate to have a few so I can indulge in a bit of tonal variety...

They're not everyone's cup-o-tea so I always recommend that those interested in a set should try before they buy.

Enjoy!

Andy

Ludnuts....Real.... is your own failure to recognize Sarcasm, Constructive Criticism and just about anything to do with Interacting Social Skills.....

I myself truly believe my own musical compositions have surpassed any compositions by Bach, Paganini, Mozart and Kiss.....

Music is judged not by the musician...But by the audience that is introduced to it, they decide wether it is viable and their acceptance or rejection will determine wether you succeed or not..

IMHO....I do not think you understand the definition....

MTV....I didn't realize anyone of your generation still watched that, of course there still are those that still tune in to " Mayberry RFD " and " Petticoat Junction "....

If the quest of becoming a great musician ( a lifelong pursuit ) is about becoming Famous, then sadly I think you missed the boat...However Kim Kardashian is looking for another 15 Minute Husband......

If you are going to post content which to everyone seems quite Outrageous as well as Outlandish...........Then you are going to get the Jester Treatment........

As far as telling us all to..... " Go Pound Sand "..... Bravo.....Bravo....Bravo.......Your Audience Bows....

hey Jake...I googled the Ludnuts and found nothing....steer us toward your website or where we can listen to your albums.

must admit to being intrigued myself as well now! I googled `the ludnuts jake` and came up with this http://www.facebook.com/theludnuts but im at work right now and facebook is blocked here so i cant actually go to the site.

I’m hesitant to get into any kind of argumentative posting with jake here because i think, although he is perhaps being overly judgemental and opinionated with his views, and some of what he said is questionable to say the least (well, from what I can still see of his posts anyway!) i have some sympathy with his views. I use pro recording studio’s regularly and believe there is a good reason why they work the way most of them do (carefully layering up individually recorded components of a song to get the best possible quality). BUT, i personally way prefer a band that sounds good naturally being recorded in as live a way as possible. More of a `warts and all` approach. However, if you are remotely heavy or noisy as a band, you’d have to do pretty well to get any kind of mainstream attention from such a recording.

Where i think i would stray from what i am perceiving as jakes `punk` ethics though is that i often find myself aiming to recreate this effect through studio wizardry. For example i like it when guitar solo’s in single guitar bands (recent example springing to mind would be black country communion) don’t have a rhythm guitar line recorded behind them, as i love the more realistic live effect of the chords coming crashing back in when the guitarist finishes his solo (as well as getting to hear the bass/keys and general airy space behind the solo itself). I like vocal ad-libs, room noise, the sound of the drummer grunting coming through the hi-hat mic`s a bit! All that kind of stuff! John Bonhams bass drum pedal squeaking through lots of the electric tracks on led zep 3! i think you can have these characterful elements retained in a song and still have a pro sounding recording, but rarely through the full bands natural live recording approach. I might have completely misconstrued what Jake meant here, so sorry if i have there Jake!

To summarize, i way prefer in utero`s recorded sound to the sound of nevermind. but still know darn well the amount of studio work that went into creating the in utero sound. If it was completely realistic it would just sound like nirvana did live, which i never found nearly as impressive. Ooh, straying on to a different topic here! I loved nirvana live, but their sound was often awful. Talking of different topics..... this post was originally about pickups yeah? Eep. Sorry
