- Опубліковано 27 бер 2023
- Comparison of Gibson Custombackers and 8 BombCosto Goldie PAF humbucker pickups. Guitar - Gibson Customshop R9 2019 (thin hard nitro refinish and relic). In the first part, I'll be playing a Fender Junior amp (all knobs in the middle position), no reverb and post-processing. In the second part I will play directly into the audio interface channel (DI). Dry signal.

The *Bombs are Alnico 5s and the Custombuckers are Alnico 3 magnets. This reveals the difference between the two pickups. Alnico 3 magnets are going to be less loud, but smooth attack with more midrange. While the Alnico 5 magnets will be brighter, louder, and seemingly clearer, but punchy attack and less smooth.
The 8Bombs have a lot more clarity than the Custombuckers, which is what I prefer, esp. in the neck. It's good to see that your guitars sound as good as they look!
Thank you
Fantastic as always. Thanks for the comparison. Your work is outstanding.
Thank you
Your Eightbomb pickups sound fantastic! And passion and determination have helped you build something special. I wish Eightbomb a very successful year (may all your late night pay off)! Keep the passion! 💙
Thank you very much !
I just joined your Patreon. I'm the guy that just emailed you about my Vaschenko. I think your Goldies are the best sounding PAF I've heard yet. Been a huge fan of yours for a long time.
Thank you for your support! I'm glad you like it!
Keep up the great work! I'm very happy to see your English has evolved so much, that now you don't need voice overs :) Well done for all and greetings from Greece!🤟
Thank you!
Was thinking same thing. Impressive
@@donnierobitson7221 where is will, there is a way ☺
Thank you
Great video! I wonder how much of the difference in sound between these pickups comes down to the actual magnets. The A5 magnet used in the Goldie is known for being a higher output, mid scooped magnet with lots of treble and bass. An interesting test would be to compare each set of pickups with the same magnets to see if there is any noticeable difference in the sound. I suspect it would be much less noticeable then it is in this comparison.
Thank you. You right. Next time I will make comparison with 59 clone.
Very interesting. Thanks.
You should also compare these two humbuckers with distortion. It often accentuates the differences.
Thank you
Great comparison! Hope you can do the same tests on your other PAF models side by side. Thanks!
Even listening on my cheesy iPad speakers, your 8bombs have way more clarity!
Thank you
Great sounding pickups! I would love to see a video comparing the construction and materials of both models, someone told me that the Burstbuckers and Custombuckers don’t have the characteristics of a true P.A.F Pickup
Really nice sounding pickups!
Thank you
So great!!! Congratulations!
Thank you
8bomb buckers has a “new strings” effect. Sounds amazing anyway.
I thought it would be hard to hear the difference, but Holy Sustain, 8BombCustom are way brighter and have more body, even heard on iMac speakers. Bravo!
Thank you!
Like one of the other posters pointed out this isn't really an even comparison since there are different magnets being compared. Big difference in attack and compression and the different winding resistance strengths also add to the tonal differences. Both brands sound good depending on your personal choice or flavor of tone but the 8Bombs do have a more open soundstage and brighter which leads me to think they are unpotted but the Gibsons sounds a little less open and airy.
You right. All my pickups is unpotted, but that cusombuckers too.
Goldies sounded beautiful! Still planning on the 59 /custombucker comparison? Ready to make my choice and get a set for my studio lp
Thank you. Yes, I will make such comparison soon. Yesterday I just prepared one Gibson Customshop for Custombackers vs 59 clone video.
Both pickups sound good however Goldie has a little more presence and crispness in the upper frequencies. Dr Nitro well brother
Thank you
i 'd like to buy a pickup set.59 or goldie..what am i choose one..beacuse these are different wire used, a very serious concern , haha it s .very nice tone..as well, nice designed
Thank you! 8bombcustom.com
какие магниты в случае с кастомабакерами? 2? Голди ведь пятёрки кажется у вас? Если так, то конечно они ярче, выразительнее, детальнее, но хотелось бы с 58 и 59 сравнить сетом
Did you change out the capacitors between the two sets?
No
@@8BombCustom your pickups are all around better than Gibson. I especially liked the neck pickup and the middle position
@@johnwhitaker545 Thank you.
of course the 8 bombs sound cleaner and brighter but the soft tone on the les paul is important to me so the Gibson gives that soft enveloping i would say soothing tone.
Thank you. You can always use the tone knobs
@@8BombCustom but the value of the sound of a guitar is not in how it memorizes separately, the most valuable thing is how the instrument sounds in a rock band. Do you have an example video of how your PAF will learn it in a recording of a blues or rock band track?
@@pisatel7845 ua-cam.com/video/Fz9_0FXaqyc/v-deo.html
Turn tone knobs to 50% or lower on the 8Bomb, probably will be very close to that muddy tone.
Странно, а может быть и нет....но, когда я слышу хамбакеры от 8Bomb Custom, я слышу тот самый звук 59 года Гибсон Лес Пол! Мне кажется, что ты не только попал в яблочко, но и превзошел оригинал! А это многого стоит!!!❤️❤️❤️
Спасибо!
The 8Bombs surprised me. In a good way.
Thank you
in my optinion yours sound much more open and rich. they have very pleasant character.
Thank you
I really loved these. I wish I could buy from Brazil...
Thank you. I shipp worldwide
i liked them both Goldie Pickups seems to have a little less mid range and more high Ränge than the Gibson pickups
The 8bombs have what the Gibson’s wish they had. It is very hard to discern on crappy little computer speakers though..
@@LPCustom3 i Wish i could find some Pickups modeled after Bernie Marsden guitar aka: "the beast"
@@metalmig look for cream T Pickups
Super test! On the amp I like your pickups better with the chords. are a little more open and crisper. with the single notes I hear almost no difference. via the audio interface ( the pure di sound- much better ! ) you can hear the difference best. your pickups sound much brighter and slightly scooped. the custombuckers have a little too much bass for me
Thank you
Potted vs un-potted pick ups. 8 Bomb have more clarity, more 'open', less muffled, less mids/more treble. Closer to the better originals? I think so.
Thank you. Custombuckers are unspotted.
8 Bombs have more treble across the board.
Thank you
Much brighter then the Gibsons. Bit more punch. Underwound is the way to go in most situations
8bomb has more clarity - how much of that do you think is because the Gibson pickups are a little hotter?
Thanks. There are many factors at play here. Wire, number of turns, tension, coil geometry, magnet ... Even the accuracy of the layout of the turns. I always compare it to cooking a meal. Soup or sauce. We regulate the final taste by the quality and quantity of products and spices, cooking technology. Or with copying Flemish still lifes, where pigments, the technology of applying paints and lacquering play an important role. It can even be somewhat compared to the butterfly effect, only in a very narrow sense.
👍👍👍👍
I love the custombuckers but the 8bombs seemed more articulate,a little brighter,and seemed to drive the amp more
Thank you
Your Goldie pickups have a brighter, much more articulate tone with better string balance and note separation. The Gibson Custombuckers sound less distinct and kind of muddy because they aren't even close to ANY 1959 or 1960 P.A.F. They have the wrong magnets (Alnico III instead of Alnico IV or V) and have coils intentionally mismatched, (which did occur occasionally), but most guitars had a mismatch in output between the neck and bridge pickups, as the winding machines didn't have automatic stops until about 1961 or 1962. They wound 4 complete humbucking pickups on each machine, which were paired up 90+% of the time. Your pickups are much closer to vintage P.A.F.'s! Rock On, Brother!!
Thank you very much!
Been inside a few pafs, every one had the slug coil wound higher. Custom buckers, lollars and others has the screw coil wound hoter.old pafs magnet charge equel seemed modern a2 .Gibson a3 is closer to the old 58 and 59 magnets as far as strength but not the same alloys witch changes the sounds and highs and lowes of the sound.the wind patteren, tentition and metal/ aloy of the slugs and keepers and poles is what's importantt in paf tone and tail peace and bridge alloy. Small off set in bridge and more off set coils in the neck give best tone
the custom buckers sound potted 8bombs have clarity
Thank you. Both sets are unspotted.
Custombucker ❤
Thank you
I`ve prefer the middleposition of guitars, so there the custombucker havea bit noose in front. the neckpickups are both excellent, the Bridge pickups the gbson in my opnion less twangy a bit harmonical. the bass of all pckups is very thight, in my opon the guitar is the mismatch for this pickup, the better guitar for pickups is a 335. or a hollowbody jazzguitar. thats the point, clarity is O.K. but twanginess is a part of the build. and your amplifier,not your Pickup. So the gibsons are quite better because harmonic.
It seems every one else on the PLANET can make a PAF style double coils except the so called PLAY AUTHENTIC organization!
Well done! 8💣
Thank you
There's a kind of woofy dullness about the Gibsons... Yours have much more clarity.
Thank you
Low output humbuckers or cleaner and more clarity
Gibson !
Goldies hands down - sound much clearer.
Thank you
Just imagine a Big company can't get It right and a man in his workshop. Him alone just gets a better sound.
Thank you
Thats due to passion,dedication and talent!
Ничего не понял но очень интересно))
на бомбах звук более выразительный
Ну вот, это самое главное 😁 вся фишка в высоких частотах и воздушности. Кастомбакеры тоже очень хороши, по сравнению с остальными моделями гибсон, но все же немного подрезаны по верхам.
Голди ярче и динамичнее, нет замыленности. Вообще, мне показалось, Гибсоновые звучат как 57 Классик😅
Спасибо
👀
Тон Gibson Custombucker менее заметен, чем у вас.

The Gibson ones sound much better.
Thank you
My fav are 8bombcustom more clarity I hear all the notes
Thank you
Seems like cusotmbuckers sound more muffled. 8bombs have more clarity and spank to them.
Thank you
