Title: HELP REGARDING WHAT SINGLE COIL NECK PICKUP
Post by: yanqui on February 06, 2012, 10:43:59 AM: What's a good single coil neck pickup for a Hard Ash top, Pine body Telecaster?
I might use a Miracle Man with a split coil configuration for the bridge position.

I want to avoid problems like volume loss when switching to the neck pickup since the Miracle Man has a high output.

I might still opt for a different BKP for the bridge position though.

I'll be playing from post-rock to thrash metal, death and doom metal.

Thank you for the help!

If balance is required with the full humbucker, Sinner or Trilogy Suite. If balance is required with the split humbucker, Irish Tour could work, too.

I second this.

Thanks for the recommendations! I really like the Trilogy Suite so far.
Would the Irish Tour have a huge cut on the volume when I use it with the Miracle Man?

Can other neck pickups from different brands sound good with the Miracle Man too?

Post by: Philly Q on February 06, 2012, 07:04:57 PM: I would guess Trilogy's a good choice. A Sinner in the neck is probably a bit much.

BKP use Trilogies in their "standard" Miracle Man HSS set.
