Strat pickup height
« on: March 22, 2006, 09:55:18 AM »
Following on from the other posts on this topic - what is the best 'ballpark' height for BKP strat pups?  In particular Mother's Milk - I am using Fender's recommendation for Texas Specials - is that a good guide?

It's a good starting point. Every pickup has it's own sweet spot so experiment a little.

+1 what Ratrod said- trial and error but you will know it when you get it.

I normally crank it up as high as possible and then slowly lower it until I hear the sweet spot.............also watch that the manets aren't interfering with the strings.
