westhemann Posted June 26, 2003 Report Share Posted June 26, 2003 hotrails are never going to sound as crunchy as a true humbucker.i think there is just not enough room to wrap the coils enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westhemann Posted June 26, 2003 Report Share Posted June 26, 2003 we are talking about the single coil hot rails correct?the one made to fit in a single coil cavity but in actuality has 2 coils?i just don't find them to have the bottom end like a true humbucker.on lead they do have alot of extra highs though.he said crunchy so i assume he meant for rythm.i guess it depends alot on what you are playing of course.i thought a screaming demon is a true humbucker.hot rails screamin demon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
