If you're using a passive volume pedal, you'll probably get a better sound with the 710. The resistance will only correlate to frequency response if all other design factors are identical. Since Bill has the patent on the sidewinder design, it's up to him.Ĭomparing the DC resistance of a single coil to a humbucker doesn't make sense. Theoretically it's THE answer to the humbucking dilemma, but the tone may need some tweaking. Then he puts two coils, one one either side, and runs them sideways, hence Sidewinder. It's a very cool idea one row of pole pieces so it's picking up the strings at one point, just like a single coil. Lawrence wound the 910 to about 18KOhm? Wouldn't that sweeten up the top end? You gotta hand it to Bill for designing the 910/912 sidewinder. As I understand it, the more winds, the higher the DC resistance, the hotter the output, and less highs. Maybe it's because it's a '66 and the pickup is wound so bright at 15.5KOhm. I agree with what people say about the guitar really being the tone source and the pickup is merely a microphone picking up the guitar's tone, BUT I felt like I was really missing the top end that the Emmons single coil does so well. I like the 910/912 a lot but it's got a whole different voice to it than the Emmons single coil. What was gained was humbucking and a very thick and meaty tone. All that sweet top-end nuance of the picks releasing the strings was lost with the 910, especially above the 15th fret. I agree the BL 910/912 sounds quite single coil-ish but the tone is radically different than the stock Emmons. I also have experience with the BL 912 from my Mullen U-12.
The stock Emmons pickup was wound to 15.5 KOhm. I just dropped a BL-910 in my '66 Emmons S-10. Your profile | join | preferences | help | search
