how much does this capacitor cost per unit? does it available in normal electronic shops? (like normal capacitor, diode, transistor, etc)

what's the name, code or farad value for it? thanks

hi bro :-)

Beez is selling them for SGD8 each. you can go round the shops, ask them if they sell the Prague Orange Drop (film) capacitor. the ones you see in my LP here has a value of .022uF

Bro,
Is there much difference before u change the caps?
Like, the tone is brighter now?

subversion.sg said...

yes sir :-) the objective of having those oranges in there was to differentiate the tone without having to swap pickups because i've dealt with those 490/498 humbuckers before & i know they are not particularly appealing (to me).

So sub, is there a big different when different values are use? In the website, not much info i can find. Or you jus have a prefered value?

i always toggle between a .22uF & .47uF, i will start with the default value used by the manufacturer. this will actually tell me, since the values are the same, that certain brand name interpretations of the cap, makes a difference. it's also the cap type- the orange is a film-type cap, the one used by Gibson (in this LP Studio) were a pair of ceramics.
