I absolutely love these pickups they look great in that black and red Harley Benton and your Rammstein style Demo is probably one of the best you’ve ever done sound wise ! Killed that one dude 😮! 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻
Price for the guitar and the pick up’s would be f’n sweet ! I’m not really into the sand blasted wood’s but that rig looks like it must be Iron Man’s ! VERY NICE job Brother ! Hell you should buy them and resell them one at a time for some extra income. Peace and Rock.
Hey Hunter! John here from Fishman. I worked on those pickups so it's super fun to see someone else's reaction to them. In case it's of interest, the Richard Z magnetic circuit (similar to the Will Adler and Devin Townsend) use a combination blade on one coil and pole pieces on the other. It's a nice blend between the definition of blades and the rawness of poles.
LOVE the Devy set. Both the voice 1 bridge for the chugga chuggas of course, but the V2 split coil does sound legit tele-ish, at least to my ear when I did a recorded head-to-head. Great stuff, man!
The Richard Z- signature Fishmans just might be my favourite go to mod pickup! I absolutely love the sound of these. (Listening in Marshall headphones 🎧 😊) great job making these they are awesome, and they look as killer as they sound ! 🤯. I have an LTD - Alexi signature V and it would look so bad ass with this in it, it already has an EMG in the bridge but … 😮 these would definitely look better and the overall sound 🔊 is better ( more raw ) for what I’m playing most of the time in my opinion 😊.
Nice work John!!!!! And that’s really cool of you to let us in on some of the development. If you need any ideas for new projects, I vote for these in blue :)
@@erikrummel6277 Thanks man! I really like the Richard Z set and have a prototype in one of my guitars. If color comes up again, I'll pass on your vote for blue.
RZK and Paul Landers are both extremely underrated guitarrist. Pure geniouses both. RZK’s my favourite guitarist and idol. Also damn those sound FEUER!
Most Rammstein riffs are super simple, simple enough for beginners to learn them easily. So I don’t think that they’re that great in a technical way, but I agree that they’ve had quite a big influence on the metal and guitar scene though. I don’t think that they’re underrated from a guitar playing viewpoint.
I agree. Rammstein riffs are super hard to play well. Theyre not complex but they’ve got to be exact, consistent, and keep the bounce going. It’s like AC/DC or even Nile Rogers…not super “technical”, but you’ve got to lock it in and there’s nowhere to hide.
I would give both a kidney and a testicle to be able to run a RU-vid channel and just review unbelievable amounts of free gear for the rest of my life. Those look sick and sound awesome.
I think you can do it. I think you can make your own review channel if you really wanted to. But you gotta start somewhere. Get some gear and post a review of something.
Always so impressed you're able to throw together these songs in the styles of so many different artists and then actually sound amazing and like they could have been written by the artists. Awesome man. Love your channel keep up the awesome work!
Hell yeah, great demo. I've been strongly considering a set for an aluminum neck John 5 Squier tele I'm building and I think this was the push I needed.

Perfect choice of guitar for the pups for sure! I would like to try it once you release it🤘🔥 Nice track too, very Rammstein
I would love to see you do a Devin Townsend Vs. Sexy Red Rammstein!!! It’s looks that each set is made in a somewhat similar way. So hearing you make some tracks and then looking at them to see how the software interprets the pickups, LOL. Sand plz with these sort of tests, since ur not a robot, plz plz plz plz plz plz plz plz, IM FREAKING BEGGING YA BRO, be 100% conscious of how hard you are pushing down the notes on the fretboard and how hard ur picking with ur right hand. And overall placement of the right hand on the strings while you play, def. needs to be taken into consideration. Just do your best to keep the pressure the same every single time. In ur head decide what ur gonna play, then decide how ur gonna play it. Choose tempo and all that good stuff and stuff. Anyway i think it would be a really kool video idea. I can’t be the only one who see that ab the two sets, and i bet there are a lot of ppl who wonder the very same thing. Just how do Devins and Richards pickups sound in comparison to each other. Uuuuummm, i really hope you have a Devin set. Also, almost forgot. Use the same guitar, use one set then take em out and put the other set. It just takes away so many supposed variables that could change with two guitars. I love ya bro, We all love ya bro!!! I hope you and the Mrs. have infinite energy to take care of the next rockstar that will blow the world away with her talented voice and insanely badass guitar playing.
Mmmm they do sound quite chunky! I kinda went away from that sound, but is fun. I kinda want to get some to just riff and noodle around. Plus they have some cool options🧐🧐 kinda want em more , the more I type this. 😂
Honestly I dig the demo it does have that Rammstein vibe to it, the pickups sound sick through the Mesa too, I was hoping you were gonna use that for the demo
This was awesome! I’m new to your channel so I don’t know what you usually do but I love how you just created something so cool from nothing but inspiration from pick ups and sound. The tones and overall sound are sweet sweet ear candy.
I mean...the sound that made Rammstein was the emg 81 in the bridge and RZK admits to simply using an early edition ESP KH-2 (dual emg 81s before Kirk put an emg 60A in the neck) on tour during Rammstein's early days.
Same, honestly. I just added new pots to one guitar and I've got more coming and a volume mod for another one. Now I'm looking for new pickups in my Scarlett red metallic Kramer Pacer Classic.
I put a set of the Tim Henson’s in my LP and was very impressed. So much so I put a Fishman loaded pick guard on a Squire. Holy 💩 Batman! Didn’t think I would use anything but EMG’s. The battery back plate on the Strat is worth every penny. Going to get one for my LP!
I decided to subscribe based on this video. Enjoyed your rocking out at the end! Regarding your strings, do you prefer lighter gauges because they’re easier to play or is it a sound thing?
Great demo track and those pups look cool as F but don't be fooled by the sales nonsense. Put any of your humbucker equipped guitars through the same signal chain and you'll get virtually the same tone.
Just a small tip, Rammstein sound relies a bit on high end on the guitar to give it bit of bite. Their guitar sound doesn't have that much low end if you listen carefully. They sound big because of how everything is mixed together with the drums, bass and the synth.
Hey Hunther, While i got to say you are one of my go to guitar youtubers I can't seem to understand the love for active pickups No matter the brand or set i play, they all seem have some bright element i dont like And it seems no matter what i do, i cant EQ it out My question is, Do you notice that, or is that exactly why you like em? Or is it just what they do? Don't get me wrong, every fishman i tried have great note seperation and clarity Even in recordings i think they sound good but, in person, i dont like em Any tips maybe?
As long as the pickups have a decent signal with no interference and aren't shitty... they are virtually no different from any other pickups while doing metal music.
Dude how do you change between voices? Is there any info on their web or link for it? I mean for each pickup there are 3 voices, so you cant just use the toggle switch? Tnx nice video by the way.
I think you missed the chance to go full RZK and shouldve used a Dual Recto to give a good idea how his pickups would sound with his tone. Maybe a future vid idea?! :D
The MT100 lead channel is based on the Recto but with an actual midrange lol. For the demo track I used mostly the Dual Rec with the ENGL blended in for midrange
@agufish it did sound sweet! I've always loved the mt15 since I came out and have loved that about it. I'll have to listen on my headphones when I get home, cell speakers aren't the best for hearing things clearly lol. Thnx
From a quick glance at fishman’s website it sounds like these are moderns with a third single coil voice… so then does that make these literally the same pups as Matt heafy’s?
