Bright Strat Brige Pickup Challenge
« on: March 09, 2015, 11:26:04 PM »
Hello everybody,
i got a strat (alder) with maple scale, with a seymour duncan set o pickups (N) Little49, (M) Duckbucker, B(JB)... all of them "humbuckers" in the size of a single coil!!!!, well i love the sounds i get from these except for the bridge, it's really to much bright (guitar is also a litle bright).

I am looking for a bridge humbucker that deals well with "heavy styles" but also that has a nice clean (warm/fat)!!! 

I was thinking about a warping... however i am not sure that it will be possible to deal with distinct "output", and also, from youtube cannot get suficient demos of this pickup on a similar setup (bridge alder strat).

What would you people recommend!!! I am tired of spending money on pickups (love guitar playability)!!!!

Thanks in advanced

PS: I don't have a particular style of music, it goed from hendrix, zeppelin etc... to (not often) heavy stuff/rrifage

Look at the Crawler: warm, fat, creamy, big sounding, splits well. I have one in a swampashstrat and it kills in bolt-on alder/ash guitars. It does blues, bluesrock, (classic) rock and hardrock very well.

Thanks, and will have to relly on youtube to "test it".. i was considering dimarzio BC-2 but i am fearing that these would be to "limited"", buy the clips on BK site this seems versatile!!!!

The Crawler is a safe bet for any whimpy sounding strat. Btw, the clean tones are very good too and the pickups thins out nice with the guitarvolumeknob. As with any scatterwoundpickup the right height is important. I have mine set relatively low. Turn it a little up and the higher frequencies get more pronounced.
