Because science happens whether you accept it or not?

In that case the EQ settings of a pickup wouldn't matter either because you could just "completely" change the frequencies with the knobs, according to you only the amp and pedal EQ controls the frequencies, and nothing else with a guitar has a set bass or treble output?

EQ only adds or reduces, it does not completely elliminate the tonal nature of your guitar unless you do some really extreme EQing, but my assertion stands under normal circumstances.

So because I listened to an overrated band, my opinion is invalid? Sounds like you're grasping at straws to me.

ehhh... you kinda got me. But pickups also have a hot/cold element to them.

Sullinger

Well, this isn't an "opinion" topic.
But to your opinions, you're likely to not have an opinion, you just carry everyone else's opinion.

KSEjunkie2468

Different woods resonate different frequencies back to the strings changing the string's tone, and the pickup picks up those frequencies. The pickup does not just detect vibration only stupid.

And you're such a troll about W4RP1G's musical tastes, we're not even talking about that you just thought you would insult rather than answer to W4RP1G's which completely rebutted yours and proved you wrong.

At this point we all assume you are TONE deaf and not very smart or just good at being a troll

If it isn't an opinion topic then why did you bring up musical tastes and state your opinion about Black Sabbath? So incompetent.

Pink Muse

If he carried everyone else's opinion, why is he arguing against yours?

Look at it from our perspective. You made a pretty bold claim, we pointed out its flaws, you brought no solid claims, we did, you then turned to ad hominem arguments, and still had the audacity to get upset with us.
Everything you've brought up has been countered, and you haven't managed to refute anything of ours.

Mega-butthurt fag detected. Well, the musical tastes thing was kinda off topic, but that kind of thing just bugs me "Ohhh, M3tallica420 would be such a cool name"... but it looks like you're starting to lose since you have to refer to my invalid argument to continue yours.

W4RP1G

This is definitely an opinion topic, since there is no concrete evidence on the matter.

And you're still grasping at straws. You've made no sound arguments against anything I've said, so you are going to just ignore me? That's pathetic.

I'M BRING UP MANY SOLID CLAIMS.
Alright:
1) Fingerboard isn't going to make a difference, this is proved every time you play a fret with an inlay
2) A pickup is a magnet. Magnets don't pickup wood.
3) Just because the wood vibrates with the strings, it doesn't mean the strings will create more of certain frequencies
4) If wood makes such a huge tone difference, then why do you mess with equalizers and effects, which will just overshadow your guitar's original tone?

OliOsbourne

fingerpicking sounds different from using a pick...

Hi, I am a REAL Scientist. I am a Geophysicist and I do REAL research and publish my findings. I will make the point that the arguments presented do not follow a true and honest methodology. The REAL way to test the HYPOTHESIS would be to make 2 identical guitars with only one difference (e.g. an ash body and a rosewood body) and test the frequency content (on a oscilloscope with fourier transform) and check if they are different.

If the point is that there is no wood in the "signal chain" well... a physics point could be made by explaining that even though this is true, when you play a note, all the guitar vibrate with the string (play an open string and slightly place your hand in the head of your guitar to test it). As your string and guitar are connected the string will vibrate differently if is connected to a denser material or to a flexible material (exactly why the bridge also affects your tone). Therefore, wood matters...physics says so

Sullinger

It's pretty pathetic you've wasted a solid 2 hours arguing with someone you claim has no argument.

Pink Muse

Objection Your Honor; asked and answered.

Please read our posts, I'm out of here.
