Well I sure wondered as well. I never had a problem. I can see Chowy has the whole tape thing going though.

Oh I was wondering about this topic as well. Thanks for making it clear guys!
I don't have whammy on my basses so I didn't know exact reason for tape on pickups

QUOTE (ZakkWylde @ May 30 2010, 02:01 PM)  You mean the tape? No not at all! Even the chrome metal covers on pickups don't alter the sound much so why should a thin piece of tape do anything. Metal covers, regardless of being nickel, chrome or gold do remove presence, it's definitely noticeable. One can place a cover on a fairly modern sounding pickup and make it sound a more vintage-like. It's not that much noticeable but the change is definitely there, just to add to Zakk's info. However, tape won't make a difference, it's only a tape, doesn't affect the magnetic field. -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE
