Hi Guys,
Just had a quick query. I ve noticed a lot of guitarist i like often use the neck pickup for runs and even general lead when soloing
My question is how often do you guys use yours as aposed to the bridge pickups, your feelings on when use the neck vs bridge and your favourite examples?
Aaaaaaaaand Go!
I tend to use the bridge pickup whenever i'm soloing below 12th fret its much better for pinch harmonics and gives me the rough attitude i want.
whenever above the 12th fret, especially for melodic parts, neck pickup is always the option to me coz it's much warmer with a beautiful tone. i use the JS1000 btw.
Cheers
Jad
I prefer my neck pick up for the more aggressive & rocker solos. I like how Malmsteen use to change during the same solo from one pick up to the other one to get different sounds.
Depends, neck is smoother, fits best for some leads. Though I use bridge most of the time.
Alexi Laiho from COB doesn't even have a neck pickup and he sweeps, taps, does everything. He gets a much more rocking aggressive tone
All bridge:
On the other hand you can get a lot more rounder smoother, less aggressive sound with the neck pickup
All neck:
Man, Silent Night Bodom Night has such an awesome solo
I rarely ever use the bridge pickup...then again, I mostly play metal or punk rock stuff, so the neck pick up seems to be the natural choice for me.
Petrucci and Alexi... both such amazing players, yet such diffrent styles!
I like the warmer sound, bridge pickup is in use for riffing parts, but for the solo sections I like a combination of both hambuckers.
Quite some interesting examples i must say especially bodom and dream theater
I ve noticed zakk wylde sounds like he favours the neck most of time
ps...there needs to be some more bodom lessons
i use the bridge like 80% of the time, but lately i´m digging more and more then sound of the neck, specially on my strat, LOVELY.
I usually like to adapt to the context of the song I use the bridge pickup for heavy riffing, the neck one for leads and smooth picked passages and different combinations for special occasions such as finger picked phrases where each note matters. It's a matter of exploring in my opinion and of course sacrificing playability sometimes for the sake of tone..I guess.
and hey, it also the depends on the band/mix a lot, you need to fill the space they leave so open your ears and it will come to you
