electrical tape over the pickups will fix that if the poles are exposed. i did this to my g&l since when i get fired up on stage i tended to smack the poles, making a "click" that got soundmen angry.

 

the upshot is that it looks a lot better without the big exposed poles!

i wouldn't think so, as the whole setup is magnetic. as long as your tape isn't like an inch thick, i would think you're OK...

 

but i could be wrong. i've never done this...

No. A good example is Bartonini pups. Most of them are blade stye but the use a plastic covering because at one time blades were (incorrectly) thought to be inferior to polls.

if it has, i haven't heard it.

 

it's the best of both worlds for me, it gets the hottest possible output from the pickups without having to worry about keeping my right hand in check to the point of distraction.

I hate to {censored} wit the set-up, as it feels so cool strung low. I habe medium hands (huge cock, fyi) and I like it low...the pu's maybe could go lower. I will try the tape idea, and playin softer like a gay boy. thanks.

 

rbtv all mature like Plato:cool:
