  • How hot do Neck and Middle pickups need to be when matched with a JB?

    I am leaning towards combining a JB (16.4k D.C. Resistance) with Kinmans in the middle and neck positions of my Strat.

    To ensure there is not a problematic volume disparity, what D.C. Resistance should my Kinmans (or other single coils) be?

    In the event that I end up going with something other than a JB, is there a general formula that should be followed (e.g., make sure middle and neck singles' D.C. Resistance measurements are .4-.7 of the bridge humbucker)

    Thanks!

    Wow, first off finally gives the Kinmans a chance, but to answer your question you should go with the woodstock set to match with that JB infact thats the only set by kinman that can really match well with a humbucker in the bridge.
