guys,
what determine the attack and the volume (NOT the power) of a PU???

just yesterday I was comparin' on a friend's '68 LP my 80 Dirtyfingers with his mid 70s T-top, the result was awesome : the Ttop have more volume and more attack :shock: (my Dirtyfingers has beaten so many PUs I was sure for the victory)

yes... but only one component or only one combination affect the attack/volume thing, I'm pretty sure about, I'm not talkin' about tone...
