![]() The oscilloscope shows the RMS level averaged across the full four second sweep, and while it's not particularly accurate, it is a useful indicator of what you can expect. This proved to be long enough to get a reasonable idea of the overall trend in each case. Each sample started at the 250ms trigger point, and lasted for 3.75 seconds. The bass only has one pickup, and I used an open E, open G and a two string 'chord'. Somewhat surprisingly, I've read a few good reviews of this model.Įach test was with an open E1 (low E string - actually E2 on the piano scale, 82.4Hz), open E2 (high E string) and an open E-Major chord, using the neck pickup, middle pickup (Strat copy only) and bridge pickup. All pickups are 'Duncan Designed', which no doubt means they are not 'true' Duncan pickups. The other is a somewhat newer (only 20-odd years old) Samick 'TV Twenty' (basically a Fender Stratocaster copy with a different head), which has two standard (single coil) pickups (neck and middle), with the bridge pickup being a humbucker. The most recent (still a long time ago) was fitting Di Mazio humbucking pickups. I have two guitars, one that dates back to around 1966 (yes, really) that's seen a number of modifications over its life. ![]() It's not really feasible to take many waveforms from each string and try to generate an average, as one ends up with a vast number of files that must be relevant to each test. ![]() While it might sound very similar, the oscilloscope is totally unforgiving, and will show every tiny difference in the harmonic structure and the overall wave-shape. Every time you strike (or pluck) a string it will be a wee bit different. I tried to be as consistent as possible, but it's not easy. The linked full size images are brought up in the same page, so click the 'Back' browser button to return. Even using half-size images makes the page quite large, but I figured that was better than having images that are so big that it would take forever to load. To allow them to be read easily, each is linked to the full sized image. The majority of this page is images, all taken directly from my scope, and reproduced half size. The subject of this article hopefully helps to answer a question that's often asked, but with only a few answers. 6 - Fender Precision Bass Copy Measurements.5 - 'Home Made' Bass Guitar Measurements.3 - Fender Stratocaster Copy Guitar Measurements.
