Members PaulyWally Posted August 19, 2005 Members Share Posted August 19, 2005 OK... it's Friday... and now I'm really starting to get loopy. Has anyone ever seen/tried/played a bass guitar with a J pickup (running parallel) under each string? I'm thinking of trying that. I want to see what it sounds like.

Members fastplant Posted August 19, 2005 Members Share Posted August 19, 2005 Hmm, that actually might sound kinda funky, or horrible, one or the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members megadan Posted August 19, 2005 Members Share Posted August 19, 2005 Wow, that would be weird. But way too much pull on the strings, I would think. Whatever the tonal effects of that would be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bassgirl9 Posted August 19, 2005 Members Share Posted August 19, 2005 I'm trying to think of how that would sound...louder thats for sure.... you could dial in tone per string too.... Hmmm. Interesting concept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Hamer-Bass-Head Posted August 20, 2005 Members Share Posted August 20, 2005 the magnets need to be oriented with the poles perpendicular to the strings.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jumpy Posted August 20, 2005 Members Share Posted August 20, 2005 Cool idea. That would be a lot of knobs though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to see what it sounds like. I think it would sound better if all 4 of them were in series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
