"Sploinky" is a good word, I like playing up near the nut because it sounds kind "clavinety". The SG-12 looks weird to me, but it does sound great. A typical case of different taste in string tone I guess! I kind of like a fuller tone, like the neck pickup of the PASV-4. I imagi... |

The description of the SG-12 at STick.com says Notes near the nut have a full sound with plenty of fundamental frequency for a strong, supportive accompaniment, as on piano or rhythm guitar. I'm curious about you SG player's experience with this. Does the SG12 sound less "sploinky" at the ... |

I guess that you don't have any phase phenomenon with a single pickup. Am I right? Daniel. Correct! Technically speaking, what matters is the fixed distance between the two pick-ups related the varying distance to one of the two points between which the string vibrates - i.e. the fret where you tap... |

Thank you, Mad Monk, for those SG12 points. Very interesting! I'd like to add that the shorter scale also makes the phase phenomenon of the pickups more prominent as your tapping moves up or down the neck, i.e. the electric sound does change more related to what fret you are playing at. Maybe this i... |

One fundamental difference between fourths and fifths is that fourths players can easily learn to read the grand staff, the written language of western music, starting from day one. I'm sorry but I don't understand why? I can see why 4th or 5th tuning may affect your playing as you have to move you... |

Too often in live situations, you have to be able to make corrections quickly. I guess this could be done with the total mix software Not on the FF400. It has to be done in the "Fireface Settings" software. When working in the studio and tracking musicians (with my FF400) I always keep th... |

I am now mainly using a RME Fireface 400, for the same reasons as you are listing as your requirements. Yes, it is pricey but IMHO the best solution for the money in the price range; to get a better sounding box you'll have to pay a lot more. I'm bringing it with me all over the world for different ... |
