How to "convert" a P90 to sound like a Stratocaster single-coil pickup
In this video, I show how to get a P90 single-coil pickup to have "Stratocaster characteristics" by adjusting the pickup pole piece heights.
If you buy a Squier CV '50s Stratocaster, what are you getting? Other than the fact the fingerboard radius is a modern 9.5-inch instead of the old-style 7.25-inch curve, you are getting something "built like they used to make them", for all intents and purposes.
I get asked a lot how I get the sound I do when I record, and moreover how I do it with such a small setup.
Yeah, I'm kind of using out-of-computer the same way one would say out-of-body experience. I think there can be some similarities made between the two.
The last time I used a proper microphone to record anything was about 7 years ago; it was a Blue Snowball, used with a boom stand. In all honesty, the Snowball performed quite well and I was surprised how well it could capture a vocal. It did it so well that it almost didn't need any tweaking on a digital level.
