Crawler. Its the safer bet, IMO, provided youre ready for its mids.

It's got more mids than a very very middy thing.

Are the low-mids or high-mids?

MDV · « **Reply #50 on:** June 04, 2008, 12:30:25 PM »

Both, but more mid-mids and high-mids.

Anything warmer?

Holy diver?

Going round in circles now though.

Did you read my post about the Crawler set? If you want the big clunk in the mid position get the set, if not, get a Cold Sweat neck with a Crawler bridge.

Well, I never use the midle position, so I'm still undecided

Quick refresh then:

What do you want from the neck?

CS will give chiming cleans and clear, liquid lead.

Crawler will give much warmer, smoother cleans and overdriven is more classic rock, gritty blues.

From your clips, I'd say CS. But none of them were clean....

Horlicks · « **Reply #57 on:** June 04, 2008, 01:47:01 PM »

CS it is then

Have fun!

best check with tim to make sure the crawler/CS set will work in your guitar. just to be safe. :)

EDIT: regarding mid-output pickups in mahogany, i thought it was alnico you wanted to avoid as well? the CS bridge is ceramic, so maybe that's why it works ok?
