Hi folks ,
As you may ( or may not ) have gathered, I am loving the sound of my 'Mississipi Queens' in a Tanglewood 335 copy. The 'sweet spot' for me is about 1/16" twixt strings and pickups. There, I get a clear, sweet, articulate, yet compressed sound that I love. I know I could use my Barber Tonepress to get this effect with any guitar, but would love to have that particular sound 'on board' any guitar I own - so I am not effect or amp reliant.
If I ever did get another ( mahogany ) based guitar, what other B.K.P give a sweet, compressed , fat , organic sound yet remain clean ?
I realise that what I am asking may be considered heresy in B.K.P circles, as we usually buy B.K.P for open and dynamic qualities. From what I read it seems like Holy Diver, Abraxas, or Crawlers - but I don't want crunch or early distortion, just another flavour of 'fat' and compressed that my M.Q.s have got me addicted to.
I have been able to 'dial in' Alinico IV Stormy Mondays and Mules to a lesser degree, but nothing yet rivals that fat , round quality of the M.Qs set close to the strings.
So, when buying another set of B.K.P Humbuckers in the future where do I go next ?
