Fat but not massively overwound SC suggestion wanted.

[great ape]

I currently have a set of Suhr V60lp pickups in my strat. They're good pickups, but not right for this guitar. The guitar is quite bright, acoustically speaking, and the Suhr pickups are very much of the currently-popular underwound variety - which means they are very detailed-sounding, but too bright and pokey for this guitar.

So - I'm after a suggestion for a set of replacements. Position 2/4 sounds are important to me, and it would be nice to have a bridge pickup I could use without running the tone control on 3.

I know this is a BK forum, but am open-minded about brand.

Cheers guys

You don't say what type of sound you are looking for, so I have 2 thoughts.  The first would be a set of Slowhands, they would thicken up a bright guitar without losing any of the stratishness.  The other set that I think might work are Apaches with baseplates to thicken up the sound a bit.  These give a really nice balance between the 50's Strat tones and some of the Dave Gilmour sounds.  The baseplate adds some bottom end to the tone without losing the inherent sound of the pickups, which in the case of the Apache's is one of the best Strat tones out there (I was playing my 57 strat with a non-baseplate set yesterday so the tone is really fresh in my mind!).

philking is the guy to listen to here... but just to say i have a slowhand set with baseplated bridge and i don't need to run the tone knob on three... more like 8 -> 10 depending on the tone I want.

Gotta have the zinc steel baseplate!

I put a vote in for ITs as well
