RIHS 90's and present versions.
Posted: Sun Apr 29, 2012 1:02 pm
A friend recently bought a 91 CS, I have been all over this bass literally and have even gigged it (cheers man and YOU WILL sell it to me 
). It is just simply massive and all there in the soundstage, I am trying to work out what is so special about it (to me that is) and I have come to the conclusion it's must be the HS.
The HS is a whopping 12.5K, having bought a 2010 RIHS that's 10.5K and fitting to my most favorite 74 (neck to die for) 4001, it's just not the same and I'm talking by a long way.
Not being that clued up on my pickup technical side, I know a certain amount of tonal depth is lost on the higher power winding, but it's not the case here in fact just the opposite.
A quick question to throw in to the experts, does a RIHS have a certain optimum peak, winding turns to magnet power (and all it's other points), that may contribute to this amazing pup, even though I have in the past unwound pups to get more depth, this one doesn't need anything like.
