A2Pro Tele bridge mate?

[litchfield]

I want a humbucker in the neck. What would mate to it. SD is preferred, but I will consider Muy Grande

What kind of tone are you looking for?

[litchfield]

Re: A2Pro Tele bridge mate?

I paly a lot of hard rock like kiss, zeppelin, creed, and most of the stuff I write is in drop D. I also like the refreshments. I want a fat neck sound

Re: A2Pro Tele bridge mate?

Anyone?

Re: A2Pro Tele bridge mate?

wow, maybe a seth as i think it would sound a little like zeppelin but none of the others really and i think it would overpower the A2pro bridge in a tele. I think most humbuckers would overpower that bridge pickup as it doesn't seem to be all that strong. A 59 would also sound good in the neck of a tele, but that reminds me of the stones tone more than anything else. Another one to think about is the A2pro humbucker. It is nice and round plus i think that it will sound pretty good in a brighter guitar like a tele. Sorry i couldn't really nail one down for you but i think this might be a trial and error process to find a neck humbucker that will match and not completely overpower that bridge pickup. Good luck.

Personally, I would go with either an APH-1n, a PG, a 59, or a Seth. The APTL-1 is my favorite Tele bridge pickup. It is, however a litle lower output than it's counterparts. With Alnico II magnets and it's lower output, you can raise it closer to the strings without any tonal detriment,

APTL-1?

I like keith richard's tone, but I dont think I could use it personally
What low output HBs are there? I wanty a somewhat chunky but clear sound

[litchfield]

Re: A2Pro Tele bridge mate?


Specs will be:
Purpleheart neck with ebony fretboard
Thinline mahogany body
Alnico pro II bridge
Humbucker neck (Still in the air, maybe a '59)
Tuneomatic string thru
VVTT LP style 3 way
Quilted top
AANJ kinda thing
CARRIEBURST!!!!

Re: A2Pro Tele bridge mate?

i think the '59n ... yes it will overpower the bridge, but i think thats the point given what he wants ... i love the AIIP humbucker in the neck too .. not sure if it would be too bright in the neck of a tele or not

good luck
cheers,

Re: A2Pro Tele bridge mate?

Its a mohogany bod, so maybe it wouldnt be so bright. Thats what Slash used right? I never liked his tone.

Re: A2Pro Tele bridge mate?

I would worry about AP2 = Slash...

Most of Slash's tradmark tone came from his use of Jubillees, anyway (and obviously his playing style, Les Paul etc etc, than the A2P's anyway...

If you're after a great sounding pickup, with low output and a nice rich rounded mid heavy tone, then the A2P is hard to beat...

my fat tele has a jd in the bridge, and an ant HB in the neck. could not be better!

Re: A2Pro Tele bridge mate?

i think a seth would be a good choice. fat tone with a clear top end
