Žice: debljina i materijal
Žice su prvi deo lanca: pickup čuje samo ono što se kreće u magnetnom polju, pa materijal i debljina menjaju i zvuk i osećaj pod prstima.
Strings are the first link in the chain: a pickup only hears what moves in its magnetic field, so material and gauge change both the tone and the feel under your fingers.
DebljinaGauge
Set žica se obično zove po debljini najtanje žice, u hiljaditim delovima inča: „desetke“ su set čija je tanka E žica debela 0,010″. Izaberi set da vidiš preseke svih šest žica u pravoj razmeri.
A string set is usually named after the gauge of its thinnest string, in thousandths of an inch: “tens” are a set whose high E is 0.010″ thick. Pick a set to see the cross-sections of all six strings to scale.
Deblje žice na istoj skali i štimu imaju veću zategnutost: punije su i imaju više sustain-a, ali se teže savijaju. Tanje se lakše savijaju i zvuče svetlije. Gornje tri žice su obično glatke (plain), a donje tri obložene namotajem (isprekidani prsten na slici).
Thicker strings at the same scale and tuning have more tension: they sound fuller and sustain longer but are harder to bend. Thinner ones bend more easily and sound brighter. The top three strings are usually plain and the bottom three are wound (the dashed ring in the picture).
MaterijalMaterial
- Nikl-pokrivene čelične
- najčešće; uravnotežene
- Čisti nikl
- vintage, toplije i glađe
- Nerđajući čelik
- vrlo svetle; brže troše pragove
- Kobalt
- jači izlaz i jasniji visoki
- Nickel-plated steel
- the most common; balanced
- Pure nickel
- vintage, warmer and smoother
- Stainless steel
- very bright; wears frets faster
- Cobalt
- stronger output and clearer highs
Namotaj i oblogaWinding and coating
- Okrugli namotaj (roundwound)
- svetle, standardne
- Ravni namotaj (flatwound)
- glatke, tople, džez
- Obložene (coated)
- duži vek, malo drugačiji osećaj
- Roundwound
- bright, standard
- Flatwound
- smooth, warm, jazz
- Coated
- longer life, slightly different feel
