Title: sinner pickups anyone?
Post by: shushshaw on February 24, 2011, 11:02:54 PM

I have a fender classic player strat and a fender blues deluxe amp. I'm after driving the amp more as there's little overdrive on it and I hate pedals. Just checking these won't sound to METAL?  Anyone got any ideas? Tried fender texas and they're to harsh.

I had a tele and put piledrivers in them and was very impressed. (since sold ). Still bluesy.

cheers.

i think they are more rock than metal personally.

i'm sure they have the balls to do metal as well, but they are pure rock through my JCM800.

They are quite hot, so they have enough power to drive the amp. If you hesitate bec they are too modern sounding for your taste, maybe look at Slowhands. They have increased midrange, but still sound vintage.

The Slowhands don't push the amp quite as hard as the BGF52 bridge, which is itself less hot than the Piledriver. But they are indeed already hot for strat pups, very "full" sounding, and still have that strat vibe.

I know, that's why I love my tele so much on my cranked Rockerverb 50 head.  :D

i have a sinner in the bridge of a strat, it's great, not metal at all, very big and loud though. I put a pair  of Trilogies in the mid and neck, they are slightly more mellow sounding.. still very modern. I love em!

Thanks for your help everyone. Might go for the slowhand ones in the end.

they are good pickups as well, not as much output as a sinner though.
