Just like the title states... the Phat Cats are the only Seymour Duncan pickup i have ever enjoyed. I know i what i like about them and i know where their weaknesses lie... which brings me to the idea of Mississippi Queens.
I feel like these would probably have all the characteristics i liked about the PC, but with the clarity and articulation that BK brings to the table. The only thing i'm worried about is the output... 7.5k is slightly less than my PC (8.5k) and i always felt like i wanted my PC a little hotter (in fact, i really NEED it, i play a particular type of metal that NEEDS to push my tube preamp a certain way...). Tim said he can't fit any more wire in, to make a hotter MQ, so i'm wondering what the hell i should do - keep the Phat Cat or go ahead and try the MQ?
Would like to hear your thoughts on this, and if there's anything i can attempt to do with the compromise...
Am planning on having a Nailbomb or Cold Sweat in my other guitar, that gets played live along with this one live - a jump from 7.5k to 16k with guitars seems, undoubtedly like some tone/gain adjustment will be necessary, which i simply don't wanna have to deal with for live applications.
