Title: Tapped MQ/P90 tone compared to full pup?
Post by: Twinfan on October 25, 2006, 11:48:55 PM

Can someone else with a tapped MQ let me know how their sounds compare when tapped or untapped please?  I think I've fixed the wiring on my MQ today but I'd like to check something.  I currently have:

Full pickup
- strong & clear tone, bright highs, lots of power, edgy sound

Tapped pickup
- a bit less output, tone not quite as clear, highs more rounded, sounds like the volume and tone pots have both been turned down to 8


Is that right?  Tim thought the tapped pickup should have brighter highs???

thas about what my neck MQ sounds like tapped, i always use it whenever i'm in a jazz mood .... kinda like now actually.... but my wiring's $%&#ed anyway so it could be the complete opposite :)
