Thanks for the reply. It's very much his tele sound I'm after, not the typical strat tone with which he is mainly associated. Would also be keen on trying to get a bit of the tele tones that mike Campbell and jerry Donahue got. All of these are associated with a broadcaster era tone - they were all fortunate enough to get their hands on genuine 50s vintage Teles :-) Despite this, there is a considerable difference in their tone, so obviously fx and amps and style play a major part. I just want to try to get close to the main source or at least as close as is possible with a modern MIM tele with maple fretboard. Wold be wary that the 52 might be a tad bright, but equally, the high output of the 50s is way too hot but the mid hump is probably right for a broadcaster typical response? Thnk they also had the zinc plated baseplate. From what I've read since, the yardbird, despite the reference, might actualy be a good bet. Or even straying away from BKP, an SD jerry Donahue seems to sound promising. Problem with pickups is that it's not easy to try before you buy, given the obvious constraints!
