This relates to the thread "Rescued By Truetone". Even after installing a TT pickup the whining didn't stop. But then, this particular guitar has a stainless steel changer. Now, just recently, I found that I could eliminate most of the whining with the following settings on my Peavey N400:
Bass +15
Mid +6
Shift 2 to 3 o'clock (about 1 kH)
High & Pres -6
On my Session 400 LTD
Bass 9
Mid 8
Shift 8
The key is to set the Mid at a positive value. Hope that helps.

| That is a very bassy setting for the Nashville 400. NO highs or mids at all. You must have other problems if you have to set the amp that way. |

You may have a burr where those strings meet the steel. Use a very fine emery cloth to remove any burr. Be very careful you dont apply to much pressure.

I had the oppotunity yesterday to play a friend's Williams 12 stringer (I was tweaking it to allow a wound sixth string to drop a full tone).
It was a pleasant surprise when I played it, to find that there was no annoying string whine on the fourth string.
This is the first All-Pull steel that I have played that doesn't have the whine.(and I've played a few)
I can only attribute it to the Williams 400 changer. |
