Doing this divides the string into 1/2's and 1/4's when you pick and ring here, there is no movement in that area,(directly over the neck pick up)because harmonics isolate the sections of string that move. when a pick up is located at one of those points, there is no sound to generate and your amp gets bored. <BR/><BR/>when the string is devided into 3rds...like on the harmonics on the 7th, that section of string moves and is therefore...picked up.<BR/><BR/>Dropping your pick-up gives the pick up a more open f/stop (if I can use a photography term). it senses a wider area of the string. The sound may not be as defined, but it gives your amp something to do when you play those notes.<BR/><BR/>Humbuckers are immune to this phenomenon since their footprint is larger, and therefore sense a larger section of string.<BR/><BR/>Hope this helps.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3204188024832829733.post-5904067991079907412008-09-10T15:49:00.000-04:002008-09-10T15:49:00.000-04:00Maybe I just might.It makes sense to me to pick up...Maybe I just might.<BR/><BR/>It makes sense to me to pick up the <A HREF="http://www.guitarplayertv.com/index.html?channel=gplessonsbumblefoot&videofile=gptv/lessons/gptv_b08_lsnmctbl1" REL="nofollow">thimble trick</A> first.Dave Jacobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15052163927020492687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3204188024832829733.post-88302605613470893602008-09-10T15:36:00.000-04:002008-09-10T15:36:00.000-04:00Dave, Why not glue an uncut nut on the top of your...Dave, Why not glue an uncut nut on the top of your neck pickup?Stratoblogsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02122128491666527727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3204188024832829733.post-30026645979910907462008-09-10T15:32:00.000-04:002008-09-10T15:32:00.000-04:00I haven't had my butt kicked by that crazy Swede.I...I haven't had my butt kicked by that crazy Swede.<BR/><BR/>I'm not even playing him.<BR/><BR/>I'm not remotely in the same league.<BR/><BR/>But yeah, <A HREF="http://www.kyowashokai.co.jp/caparison-eng/e-07product/e07applehorn.html" REL="nofollow">that is a 27 fretter, ain't it?</A> Part of me thinks like a string-band picker from the 20s.

Of course, that's going to lower the output a lot too. I'd try a hunk of copper water pipe, cut down the side and hammered into shape. If it works, you could polish it to a shine with emery paper, 800 grit wet/dry, and rouge.patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17800337561306169507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3204188024832829733.post-3158231316803152362008-09-10T07:42:00.000-04:002008-09-10T07:42:00.000-04:00I'm also considering the Sustainer, which is the u...I'm also considering the Sustainer, which is the ultimate magnetic interference on a string.<BR/><BR/>But a tiger's tooth would be cool.Dave Jacobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15052163927020492687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3204188024832829733.post-38697776526449910412008-09-10T01:15:00.000-04:002008-09-10T01:15:00.000-04:00Maybe, you could just take the pickup out and supe...Maybe, you could just take the pickup out and super glue something cool in there like a tiger's tooth or an iPhone.Pribekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14514550835842428377noreply@blogger.com
