Bg1400 with a Firebird neck?

[ToneFiddler]

Great list! Yeah filtertrons are also superb... I even can tolerate a low output standard humbucker but frankly prefer everything else in your list.

Have jokingly said that if you're going to strand me on an island with one guitar give me a tele with a box full of filtertrons, p90s, firebirds, and mini humbuckers, (and yeah throw a strat in there) solder and a soldering iron :-)

Never tried a full sized humbucker in a tele neck with a tele single coil bridge and i don't thick i will.
It's hard to match all that lowend from the neck with a singlecoil in the bridge.
I do have a HH-Tele shaped one with a trem, but that's no regular tele.

Well every guitar sounds ****ty with old strings, so PUs are not my concern when stranded on an island.
Is there even electricity?
i'd go accoustic with a bag full of new strings!

i played a great setup with a hot tele lead with a jazz neck, but its not very tele like.

Guess that will match great output wise.
Big tonal and compression difference though. Great if that’s your thing.
me, in the end, I am try to make everything sound similar.
haven’t found the right match for the firebird neck PU myself. It’s paired with a tall 9,5 k awg 42 Tele PU.
it’s actually pretty good combo, but on some days I find the bridge too hot for the firebird and a bit too compressed and middy and lacking some lowend. Always Love it on it‘s own, though.
if I raise the bridge the output match get’s worse. If I drop the bridge the bass match get’s worse.

an 8-9k AWG 42 QP style PU might be a better match…
The thick rods for added bass but less compression from the wind…

i had a bare knuckle Boss that was kinda bassy and scooped and might have been the perfect match for the firebird, but I hated that PU!
love the firebird though!

SSL-6 is easy to pair with hot Tele singles!
i love it for lead and dirty rhythm.
the added mids and compression match great with hot bridges!

Nah, my island has resort with electricity and a nice pool... But I've got the only guitar :-)

the tone change isnt as drastic as you think, but its definitely there. its a tele and that bridge pup is gonna punch

Ok, well i might be weird and overelly picky in that regard.

Was it the duncan Hot for tele or just a hot tele PU in general?
Well the SH-2n can be pretty lean. Never tried that combo, but i fear the SH-2 has too lil mids or the wrong kind compared to the hot for tele.

[jeremy]

yes, the duncan hot tele lead. had stock 250k pots which pushes the res peak of the jazz down a bit, still articulate, but a little more full sounding than with 500k.

I have an SH Tele. Jerry Donahue in the bridge, with a 59 in the neck. Sounds good, works great. I split the 59 in the middle position.

That's a set up that even I would use!
