Ultimate single coil noise reduction : The Ulbrick Music NRS
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 січ 2021
- After more than 20 years of development, there is finally a simple solution to the battle with single coil noise. ulbrickmusic.com.au/
The Ulbrick Music NRS (Noise Reduction Systems) is a flexible loop that is simple to install inside your pickup cavity.
It gets wired between your pickups earth and the back of the volume pot.
Available for Strat, Tele, P-90 and reverse wound sets too.
just got one for my Strat, cannot believe the difference absolute GAME changer!
Exactly how I felt!
But it cost as much a a new quiet pick-up set. The price tag is a deal breaker.
Put copper shielding around the bobbin of the pickup and solder a wire from the shielding to ground also works very well.
A great deal of noise pickup enters from the top and bottom of the coil. If you have a P90, the metal baseplate shields the bottom but you would also need to use a metal top cover and connect it to ground - or line the plastic cover with metal foil and do the same. A Fender pickup or similar single coil would require shielding on the bottom, top and sides. The lipstick pickups dealt with this really well.
SUPER happy with mine, highly recommend!
Great to hear!
Sounds amazing.
Exxxcellent demo. I looove your feedback notesssss ..... :D
Would be cool to see complete installation!
does it work well with teles considering difference in resistance in neck and bridge pickups?
I would really like to hear a nice vintage overdrive sound with that dynamic break up when you play louder, clean when you play quieter, so that we can really hear that Straty tone, with some 50s-60s vintage single coils.
Wonderful sustaining note from your amp. Can you tell me what type of amplifier you are using, make and model?
can this be used for a 6.6k bridge pickup. I want to get one but the reverse wound version supports only up to 6.5k. Will it mostly work?
Will it work for a Mosrite MK I guitar? They have single coil pickups but it is 13k instead of 6k, so they are twice as hot as a Stratocaster and even hotter than a Les Paul which is a humbucker. So there is some loud hum! What would be the best thing to do to get rid of the hum? Dont say P-90's!
That is amazing, how much is it?
How does this compare/differ from the Suhr-system or the Ilitch-system? I am seriously looking. Any input is greatly appreciated.
How will these work withnseymour duncan p-rails (considering that they're a single coil and a p-90 in 1)
I've seen the light!
Very nice device but expensive. By the way very good sustain, wich amp is?
I've pretty bad EMR at my place. Even my Burstbuckers are noisy. Yes it's grounded properly. I still have to "face Mecca" to get it to quiet down. Wonder if it would work with humbuckers? Probably a stupid question but it is a different system to a single coil.
Noise gates pedals work well while not playing, but they don't elimiate the hum once you hit the strings. Will the NRS eliminate that hum too?
yes it will as it is always in the circuit
@@pr0toncat I wouldn't call it eliminate... reduce yeah but it was still audible. But yes the reduction is always there.
Would it work on a pj bass for the single coil jazz bass pickup to shut up lol
Just as a critique, it would've been cool to get more details on what this is exactly. I feel like by the end of the video all I got was 1. it gets rid of noise and 2. it is a flexible loop.
How about when you take off your left hand fingers from the strings? I haven't seen you do that in the demo...
Could you tell me the setup specs of your Strat? (The 70's head stock, Maple Fretboard.. ) What's the Radius of the Neck? What Radius do you set your Bridge? String Gauge? Neck Relief at "?th" fret? Action high "e" & Low "E" above the 12th (or 17th) fret? Your Nut Action at the 1st fret in thousands of an inch?
I have the same guitar, only with a 7.25" Radius, Rosewood Fretboard and Olympic/Vintage white as Color... I'm having a pain in setting it up! (Low "E" saddle travel room/ the 5th"A"string on the 3rd fret, "C"Note still #Sharp! Even with low .016" cut nut slot at that string. ) I'm beginning to think my Nut slot should have been cut closer to the first fret. I hope you can give me the specs, maybe they help..Liked the sound.. Thanks! 👍👍
Just buy a new 7.25 radius nut, You can buy them pre-cut from fender! You can also buy the slots pre-cut and file it down from the bottom to fit your guitar. They sell them on eBay and Amazon. Hope that helps you!
@@captainhotbunz659 Just like that! 😉... No.. thanks, that's not the problem I've had.. I can make myself a guitar nut, that's not it.. Since the guy of the video didn't react.. When I was writing this i had thinner strings on it. The sharp C on the third fret of string 5 (A), is now resolved. I have a 7,25 " radius neck. And I know many Pro Players don't actually set their Bridge Saddles to a 7,25" radius as to achieve a reasonably "low" action without having the "outer"strings fret-out when bending. The B & e strings. I got my bridge saddles now at 15" radius. As to properly cut Nut slots.. The Buzz Feiten Tuning system actually moves the Nut closer to the first fret by a calibrated amount depending on string gauge and other factors, as to combat "Sharpness" at the first 3-5 frets. They cut a bit away from the fretbaord. Or you can make a overlaying "shelf Nut"(Your "open" strings are never in tune with fretted notes unless you exactly cut your Nut slots to the same level as the frets.. but your Nut action will then be low.. ) As of now i'm doubting to go for a compensated Nut, or the BFTS Shelf Nut.. I need to find the specifications of the Buzz Feiten...Since they want you to pay some certified BFTS guy to install it... And don't want to..😃 Thanks anyway, 👍
Daniel Ricciardo approves this video 👌
I've always wondered why the hum cancelling pickup needs to be audible. Tesla would have figured it out. I'd like to know the resistance of this Ulbrick Music coil.
Is it possible to install one of these in a HSS guitar?
Sweet
SICK !
Does it work for Fender jazz bass?
What about noise gates and noise suppressors, are they any good or not? Someone said they dont stop the hum at all.
Noise gates work on the concept that noise is always there, just being masked by your playing. This is like the concept of stacked single coil but this is not a new idea, as far as I remember there is another company doing it already for years, but the loop is in the back plate.
Noise gates just cut off the entire signal when it's strength falls below a certain level/threshold, but the pickup noise remains whenever the gate is open it's just that then the noise is less noticeable when playing.
So, it's just a coil of wire? For $249?
Hi where can I get it in the US?
Would this work in a Rickenbacher bass? Thank you

The ultimate nin coil reduction and versatility: Fishman Fluence Pickups. GAME CHANGER
Yeah if you're into modern sterile sound... Fishmans are good but not good enough for true vintage tone..
@@musikvonandreas Absolutely and empirically false. id be wiling to bet that out of 1000 guitarists, of varying skills, experience and gear, less that 1% could tell the difference, sans the awful buzz that "true vintage tone" imparts.
And if shitty, 60 hz hum is what pure vintage tone needs, they can have it because its total crap.
@@daveycmusic8903 Agree!
Fishman battery requirement kills it for me.
@@elbowjames7625 i have 4 guitars with the Fishman set ups, and over the last 2 years, i have charged each of those guitars 2 times. For a total of an hour each. Its negligible, and to get such amazing QUIET tone...its a non-issue. From 0-100% in about 20 min, lasts about 8 months
I put silver or copper foil in the cavities and back of pickguard on all my guitars and it does the same thing.
No, looks loke strange shaped ghots(dummy) coil
Where can i buy that in the Philippines?
Can't get that feedback with single coils because hum overpowers "the sound"? Jimi never had a problem doing it.
no f in way, are you kidding me this is a lifesaver where the hell can i get this in america
How much does this cost? And does it change tone? And does this work for all the single coils?
In the US, including international shipping, it'll cost you just about $200.
@@elbowjames7625 I'm just gonna install a dummy coil
@@boimesa8190 It is a dummy coil, but a novel and flexible one.
where can we buy this
Any soldering required?
2 simple solder points, similar to a pickup
What about tele?
So this is basically a malleable Dummy Coil
A small dummy coil has MANY wire turns - means high inductivity, also a thin and long wire - means high resistance...
These both affect the tone - the spark is gone, like in most noiseless pickups.
The band coil has big area - the inductivty is less, on a squire! The wire is much thicker = much less resistance...
The result is HUNDREDS of times less influence on the tone, compared to a dummy pickup.
The SCIII system Suhr uses is perfect
Isn't that a plate that goes on the back of the guitar?
@@ilovenoise I believe the current version it’s a thin channel routed around the pickups with the dummy coil loop inserted. It’s based on the Ilitch design, which is or was available as a back plate.
@@ilovenoise no we used to use a coil just like that from ilitch and this one looks pretty much exactly like Ilitch’s . Our SSC II does not go under the strings and is the size of a tele pickup but has very low DC resistance and does not interfere with tone. Ours also has taps to adjust for different pickups hum output. We also have an active version in which the pickups are not active, only the system so when the battery dies the noise comes back. We use that for P90’s because I hate any loss of high end and this was he best way.
Have you ever tried the Seymour Duncan Yngwie Malmsteen pickups they are also awesome.
I'm not a big fan of high output single coils...unless I'm shredding Yngwie licks!
They suck bad.
Someone spent 20 years to cut noise? I can make a Strat as quiet as a Les Paul for $50 installed. That only took me a few minutes.
what pickups or modifications would you recommend? Please, I'm struggling here and I'm about to purchase a 7-string with humbucker pickups because the 60hz are humming my single coils to tarnation
Can someone explain how it works to confirm zero alteration to tone?
Dummy coil
I would have bought it for 100-150$, they are asking way too much
these are mostly for vintage guitars that lose value if you change the electronics, but for that price id rather get a set of Dimarzios HS and shield the guitars cavity completly, and you are golden.
279$ Ilitch BPNCS 299$
How can you hear hum, or its absence, with all that distortion. Sounds like crap either way.
but to expensive.
Cheaper than a good set of pickups or an Overdrive pedal!
@@ilovenoise This is just a coil though
Seems cool, but your strat tone is kind of bad so I can't tell if the product is good.
Not really an option if you’re on a budget
150 bucks . Sure. 150 bucks just too much. Thats as much as a pickup set.
Plus $35 shipping from Australia...
3:00 Now you can hear the springs in the back making noise. Put some foam on them haha
I actually just did that!
@@ilovenoise What type of foam on springs?
Mmmm
$250 no thanks
dont play like that.
