In the bridge of an SG, which pickup do u reckon would be best for a kind of indie/ punk rock type sound...think 'float on' by Modest mouse or 'Superman' by Goldfinger...so quite sparkly

Any help would be appreciated
Rory,

don't know about those bands, but i can get a very 'dirty pretty things' -y sound out my coil-tapped Black Dog when i drop the volume to about 4

but thas in an LP so....

And on Davey's logic you'd be best off wedging a pair of Mississippi Queens in there :)

goldfinger-superman sounds pretty low output like a stormy monay, or maybe a mule/riffraff

Cheers guys...ye, I was thinking of maybe a riff raff bridge with stormy monday neck...but the Mississippi queen neck on my other guitar sounds sooo good :roll:

The Mule is always good, but I'd say eitehr the MQ or Riff Raff could be spot on.
