TennRose 6119 '62 HT vs FT pups

[RonLovesRic12strings]

Which pups do you prefer and why? I have the HiLo Trons and love their clarity. I suspect that the FilterTrons provide more punch and output. Comments on which pups you prefer would be appreciated.

I prefer the Hilotrons in the 6119-1962.

Filtertrons & Dynas for me. Not such a fan of the Hilotrons personally.

I like the Hilotrons for the "Help period" recordings. Nothing else gets this close in my view. BTW, dynas do rock.

Absolutely, no question. I just don't really like 'em for anything else.

That being said, I am fascinated by this:

Same for me. Hi-Los sound good with a little grit, but too much drive makes them sound thin and shrieky. What are the best pickups for heavy drive?

[sloop_john_b]

Filtertrons, but GOOD Dynas (like the Seymour Duncan ones) really rock.

I like the sweet sound of the low-output Hilotrons, but I like Dynas even better; I've always found the FTs, both original and RI, to be a bit lifeless sounding, though Setzer gets a killer sound out of his.

Hilo trons are great and twangy, i prefer them to Filtertrons.
They sound great on my tenny.
The dynas on my GH Duojet are great sounding PU´s too.

Yep, hi lo 's are perfect for early 60's sound, filtertrons are better for modern crunchy sounds. I made a shootout video here: http://youtu.be/T3PAHT1l8Bk
