- Hi All - I made this for my reference, but I thought some of you would might interested in the difference between original stock Rickenbacker Toaster pickups and the JBE (Barden) direct replacements. The video is quick and dirty and not [professional. Also the intonation is off on the guitar as I removed the bridge during the swap out. But again, this is just a rough reference for anyone looking to try the JBEs on their 300 series Ric.
This is a proper demo, no blues wankery, no distortion, just pure, "here's how it sounds straight up." It makes it much more clear than so many crappy demos, thank you!
Thank you for the kind word. I agree with you and am often frustrated when people demo a guitar with distortion so you can't area the true tone of the guitar. All the best!
Exactly, I hate it when people play blues crap for reviews and comparisons. Lets hear the actual pickups cleanly and in nice clean strums and cord picking. Perfect, thank you.
This how you do a demo! Quick A and B comparisons playing the same exact riff.
Original Toasters by a mile!! JBEs make that beautiful, unique guitar sound like every other P-90 loaded guitar.
Great demo!
Thank you for watching!!
Agreed. You take away the jangle and the sparkle that make a Ric a Ric by switching them out. The Bardens sound like any other fat single coil.
Excellent demo. The toasters have more bite, chime and sound more organic. I like the toasters better.
Thanks for watching!!
Thanks for making this. It’s impossible to get these two side-by-side. Super helpful!!
Thanks for the demo!Based on the previous video (Barden rep) I was thinking about purchasing a set of r300's.BUT>>>After listening to the comparison, I like the originals much more. Better clarity and jangle.(That's what I'm after).
Thanks much for checking out the video!!
The originals sound like a Rickenbacker, the JBEs do not
Yes, you are right! While I love Rics, I needed a more versatile guitar so they suit my applications well... thanks for listening!!
Awesome demo. It's subjective..both sound great, but you definitely make it more versatile with the switch.
Another thumbs up for the demo. I could actually compare things - very useful.
Hey, thanks much Joan!
I like the stock ones. Beautiful guitar. Congratulations
Thank you!
The Toasters have more bite. The JBE's sound fuller but a bit darker.
Why even get a Rick (premium prices) if you are not going for the "bite" (signature sound)?
Because you don't like the hum from the stock Rick pickups.
Bardens sound great. Sounds like 1966 era Who
Stock Ric! 👍
Nice - thanks.
Prefer the toaster, sounds silkier and chimier.
Were the pots changed out for the Bardens? If not, of course they would sound darker.
No, the pots were not changed - you are right
Stock pickups without a doubt
BARDEN A LITTLE WARMER MORE BALANCED AND RIC A LITTLE BRIGHTER TREBLEY.
Good observation - thanks for watching!
Hi gr8 vid mate Nice Beatle tones there with the toasters. .May I ask what you think of the toaster pu in a Rick bass as opposed to the hi gains?
Thanks much... when it comes to bass, I love the toaster in the neck... warm, round and articulate.... vintage tone for sure
@@theguitarczar1 thanks mate ,so when u say warm and round are you referring to a more bottom end or when u say vintage do u mean more top end ,although the bridge pick up would be supplying more of that top end tone
Wow the Bardens sound really bad, dull and lifeless.
Its a G! We get it :P
Thanks.
What strings do you got on the guitar? Thanks.
I believe that they are Ernie Ball 10's
@@theguitarczar1 Thanks
Replacements are better.
Agreed! Thanks for watching!
la verdad no le encuentro la diferencia los dos suenan iguales
