Title: Sweet tele pups
Post by: craig on December 16, 2006, 09:03:53 PM

New kid on the block looking for some tele pickups for a swamp ash body/maple/Rosewood neck.

I have a bunch of teles, but none with just 'regular' tele pickups in it, and I want this to be the one.  I play through a bf deluxe, so I'm not wanting a pickup that's too bright.  In the neck I want something sweet and juice, and in the bridge, something a little fatter, possibly with slightly more mids to it.

I definitely don't want an aggressive sound!

Any suggestions?  I'm thinking I probably don't want the pile driver (too hot) or the boss set, but I'm open to ideas!

If you want a traditional Tele sound-you know the kind of thing, 1950's then go for Country Boys. I have no experience of Yardbirds but they may be another choice worth considering.The CB's are low output which means that the amp has to supply the oomph and that is no bad thing.
