Title: bridge pick up choice
Post by: scottsoldano on July 19, 2006, 10:57:55 PM

I play a musicman petrucci i have a cold sweat in the neck, which is perfect. I have a holydiver in the bridge which i am finding a little bit too thick and lacking in bottm end thump. The holydiver is a bit too hot as well.
I play everything from muse to bad company to zz top to sabbath.
I want a mid output pickup, to give me that sort of Steve lukather Juice in a lead tone, but with a huge thumping rythm sound I use a lot of gain with a Soldano Decatone.
I don't want screaming treble like miracleman, and i have tried nailbomb but found it too abraisive.
Help ! Would cold sweat bridge be ok or too trebly !
It has a basswood body, maple bolt-on neck and rosewoood board.

The CS bridge is fat and warm with alot of mids. I found it had a very large, almost 3D tone. I dont think you would find it trebly at all.
