GregP Posted October 19, 2005 Report Share Posted October 19, 2005 As discussed in another thread, my apartment is a hotbed of noise. Lace Sensors, from what I've read, don't operate in the same way as magnetic pickups with a traditional coil construction. Will they operate in a noise-free way in an apartment riddled with electromagnetic interference? Next: if they ARE mostly free from electromagnetic noise, anyone have a neck pickup they're parting with? I saw that blue one for sale the other day, but alas I didn't have the money at the time.

erikbojerik Posted October 19, 2005 Report Share Posted October 19, 2005 Greg, I have Lace Holy Grails in my Strat...same noiseless concept as the Sensors. They do a good job avoiding 60 Hz hum under fluorescent lights & such (positions 1-3-5), but if I sit right in front of my computer screen (LCD laptop), I'll still get noise. If swivel my chair to put my body between the screen & the guitar, no problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattia Posted October 19, 2005 Report Share Posted October 19, 2005 they're still EM pickups, so they'll still, to some degree, be affected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guitar2005 Posted October 19, 2005 Report Share Posted October 19, 2005 I would avoid the Lace Sensor blue, red or gold series of pickups. In my opinion, they don't sound like single coil pickups at all. Try the holy grails as suggested above or something like the new SCMs by Fender. Dimarzio has an amazing line of singles with the virtual vintage series. There are a lot of options out there. F.M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
