Simon, I thought you had removed the neck pickup and were just using it for smoke bombs.

Matt, you promised you wouldn't tell!!!

I've found as I've gotten older and my hearing and tinnitus have gotten worse, that I really like the neck and middle positions of ALL of my guitars a lot more than I used to.
My Goldtop Deluxe with 2 Tonerider Alnico II P-90's just sounds fantastic in the middle position.

Yep, I've actually returned/exchanged a couple of 3 & 2 knobs guitars becuz of the lack of controls. Once you've ad the ability to fine tune each pickup's tone and volume, you quickly realize that not being able to do so is a huge drag.

In the middle position I'll often do this:

Bridge Volume: 10
Bridge Tone: 10
Neck Volume: 4
Neck Tone: 0

You get a really warm classic rock sound, perfect for rythym stuff.

i love to take the bridge tone roll it all the way off but have both pups volumes full up. gives a very cool fat warm tone with overdrive
