Trilogy question
« on: February 05, 2012, 09:18:35 PM »
A while ago I replaced my trilogy bridge with a sinner bridge and am much more satisfied, but the problem is I have a sultan in the neck and a irish tour in the middle.  The irish tour is ok with the sinner volume wise, but with the sultan there is a huge difference.  So my question is if I should put the trilogy bridge in the neck position?  I ask this because I heard the trilogy bridge in the neck sounds like a sinner neck, but slightly hotter.

maybe raise the sultan a bit more to start with?

Will do, but is the trilogy bridge in neck actually going to sound like a sinner neck?  I heard on one the threads that it is.

I received an email from Tim concerning this just last week...stating the TS bridge is well balanced to be a neck pickup for the Sinner bridge. :)

I personally don't care for raising and lowering of pickups to make them balance in volume.  I insist finding the sweet spot for each pickup and expect them to balance in volume, which they do with BKP when one is not trying to match up extreme differences.
We reject as false...their definition of what our ideals, preferences and standards should be.

That's cool that it should match volume wise with the sinner, but what kind of tone would the trilogy bridge in the neck have?
Would it be like the neck version of the sinner?  Would it be brighter, sweeter, or fatter than the other strat neck pickups, etc.?
