I'm after that warm smooth sound for blues and lively, bright rock n roll sound using single coil pickups.
Favourite artists' tones are Chuck Berry and Eric Clapton (Clean with a bit of crunch), Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Eric Sardinas and Joe Bonamassa (Over drive/gain).
I know all of them are very different, but they are just examples of the types of sound I'm after and I know it depends on the amp as well - but it would be valve.
I was thinking of getting Slow Hand pickups, but I'm not 100% sure.
Any other ideas or advice?
