I know that it can increase or decrease the voltage going into the amp but what sound differences would there be for both increasing and decreasing the voltage? Also, I heard they were bad for the amp what would happen by running it at lower or higher voltage than normal?

Duncan/Ibanez pickups.
Hi there, I've just bought a new Ibanez sz320mh, it has these pickups on, I've read specs (magnet type, dc res.) But can anyone enlighten me as to if these are based on a regular 'Duncan model? Specs seem close(ish) to a DD/'59.
They do sound very good for 'stock' pickups on a cheap guitar. I am thinking of replacing though 'cos they're a touch too hot. Was thinking of Bare knuckles (I live in the UK), or 'Duncan customV/'59, or dimarzio airzone/air norton. Any thoughts, thanks.

JB and Jazz Seem quiet, any suggestions ?
Hey all, was wondering if you could point me into the right direction. I have an Ibanez Rg570 with the V7 and V8 pickups in. I installed a hotrail a while ago in the middle position also. I just got me Seymour JB and Jazz and i have installed them. They dont seem as loud as the V7 and V8 pickups and i was wondering if i had done something wrong. Now before i took the V7 and V8 out the rail was the same level as them. Now the rail seems quite a bit louder than the Jb and Jazz. They dont sit low in the pickup surrounds and I cant work it out. when I play the guitar clean the pickups seem very quiet and when I hit the Overdrive they get alot louder. But the rail seems to be loud. Would wiring make big differences to it ?
(By the way, think the rail will be replaced with a cool rails as its not really my style)

What's a FRED like?
I'm thinking about buying a LP clone that the previous owner put 2 DiMarzio Freds in. Does anybody have any experience with these pickups? What Duncan models do they compare to?

WEAK sustain on high e...
My high e sustains for twice less time than my other strings :| I have no idea what causes this. It's not the saddle, it doesn't seem to be the nut... The guitar is unplugged and I already lowered the pickups I just have no idea what it could be. Thoughts...?

What makes the pickup bad?
Sorry if i seem to be spammig the boards, im just really interested in these things.I know that a bad sound is what makes them bad but why? they all use a bobbin, windings, poles magnets so what makes one better then the other? What would make a junk stock pickup better? What if i replaced the poles with screws? or filed on them or somthing?
