clay-man Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 So I noticed that when I played at the 12th fret mark of a Rickenbacker tuned an octave up, I get this fuzzy, almost silent note. I messed around and swapped bodies and stuff, and I notice this only happens when the pickup is positioned where a neck pickup goes. Is this a glitch with the old Variax or is my Variax goofy?

clay-man Posted September 3, 2013 Author Share Posted September 3, 2013 Noone with a Gen1 Variax can confirm this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arislaf Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Had the same problem, but when I tune down instead of up.Never fixed, I just change pick ups on the neck position. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clay-man Posted September 3, 2013 Author Share Posted September 3, 2013 Thanks! I suppose I can live with it, but I'm kinda disappointed that this glitch exists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clay-man Posted September 4, 2013 Author Share Posted September 4, 2013 BTW here's a clip of what it sounds like. Rickenbacker neck 1 octave up. Playing at the 12 mark on all lower 5 strings results in a fizzy muted noise. Playing on the 11th on the high e does the same. If I move the tuning down and increase the played fret by 1 (13 fret, then 14 fret, and so on everytime I tune down a half step) it does it. Maybe it's a problem with the convolution? Oh well. I mainly use a real capo anyways, and I could just use a bridge pickup version if I really wanted. I just like the extra octave I can play out of this preset. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/21663288/Music/neckglitch.mp3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
