Hello everybody!
This is my first post in this forum!
I have a Gibson ES335 with Classic 57 pickups.
I am thinking of replacing them because I have a problem with them. Their sound doesn't match...
I have set the height of my 2 pickups so that they have equal output. But if I adjust the EQ of my amp in order to have a good tone from my neck pickup, the bridge sounds too trembly and harsh. In contrast, if I adjust the amp in order to have a good sound on the bridge pickup, then the neck pickup sounds too "boomy".
So I am looking for a well balanced set of pickups for my 335, that will be close (I know this is VERY difficult) to Larry Carlton's clean tone.
I am after a clean "jazz" sounding and low output set, which will not sound neither too harsh nor too boomy.
Which BK set would you suggest me?
Thanks in advance,
Elias
