Got to have a go with my new guitar through my amp today, the bridge humbucker isnt bad so its staying for the time being, but the singles sound pretty weak - kinda thin and harsh. I use the singles for cleans, lead playing and bluesy stuff so they need to be pretty versatile really.
The bridge Jackson pickup is apparently 16k dc resistance (according to some HC reviews) so I dont want anything too quiet or weak sounding, but I may change the humbucker at some point to a VHII or HD, so I guess I dont want the singlecoils to overpower that.
Big, smooth and rounded but still with that defined singlecoil tone is what I want. I'm thinking Slowhand, Irish Tour or Trilogy, but cant really decide, I'll email Tim soon and see what he says I guess.
One more thing, the current singles have staggered magnets but the fretboard is flat, so should I really bother with staggered or will flat profile be best?
Thanks
