Hey folks,
I'm looking to turn my Fender texas special strat into a double fat strat.
The strat has an ash body with a maple fretboard. Here's a little what I'm looking for, perhaps you guys can offer suggestions...
* Bridge pickup needs to be hot but not blazing hot. I absolutely hate the feeing of an unbalanced neck/bridge humbucker...like you get on the burstbucker loaded gibson les pauls.
* Neck pickup needs to be soloable.
* both the neck pickup and bridge pickup need to sound good together splitable and together as two humbuckers.
* The guitar is used for covers...so I will be playing everything from 70s rock/funk straight on up to creed and foo fighters.
I think that about does it. The reason I'm making the switch to a double fat, is becaus I often find a need for a humbucker sound in the neck...and the texas specials don't work in that regard. I also don't particularly like the Pearly Gates plus, as I find it a little honky and a little too underpowered.
Again, any help or suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks,
Frank
