Has anyone had a chance to really compair both of these Fender PU's?? I have played the Vintage ones and thought they sounded incredible. But now I am curious about the Hot Noiseless. I have Texas Specials in my strat now, so I think I want the hot ones. I guess I am wanting a second opinion. Do you really need to use 1000k pots too??

Re: Vintage Noiseless or Hot Noiseless?
I hated the Vintage Noiseless in my bandmates strat. They were thin, brittle and icepicky. One day, he asked me to do a set up for him, and I noticed that his strat had a trio of 1meg pots. I asked him if I could change the pots and he agreed to it. I switched them over to CTS 500k pots and it sounded much more natural. It was fatter and woodier and it took to being driven much better.
I still preffer other low noise pickups though, like the rails series from Duncan or the Virtual Vintage lineup from Dimarzio. I haven't tried the Hot Noiseless yet.Ain't nothin' but a G thang, baby. -
Re: Vintage Noiseless or Hot Noiseless?
I got the vintage noiselss and used 500k for vol. and a tbx for tone (250k/1000k)
I really didn't like them, so now i use a diMarzio HS-3 for neck, splitted (is brighter) and a SSL-1 in the Middle.
For hotter, noiseless singles i use the live wire hot.Pickups... the final frontier.
