I purchased a set of P-Rail pickups and thought they were the SHPR-1N and SHPR-1B but the bridge I received was actually the SHPR-2B...the "hot" version. I've searched and read several of the posts on this site and most reviews haven't been great....too hot, can sound muddy, it's warm, lack of clarity, etc.
Before I make a rash decision to sell the SHPR-2B and find a SHPR-1B, I was wondering if the pickup height could help with the tone. I was thinking about putting the pickup with the blade single coil near the bridge and lowering the pickup to "thin" it out? Can someone who's done this let me know if this helped to make the pickup a little clearer and not as muddy and hot? I don't want to change the magnets in the pickup if I sell or trade the pickup.
Thanks for your help with this.
