Well, it worked and I feel really stupid! Thought that the recommended pickup height was some kinda law of nature. Thank you again.

I will give it a try, thanks.

Have a G&L ASAT Deluxe with P-Rail neck and 59 bridge. The P-Rail is much louder than the 59 in middle position. Would like to be able to get more balanced volume between them without drilling any holes in the guitar. Wondering if a blender pot instead of 3 way switch would be the best...

I already have an SSL-1, if that doesn’t do the trick will probably go for the antiquity II Tele neck pup.

Antiquity II bridge pup on order, the neck may go for SSL-1 just because I really, really like as a neck pup.

According to Grok I am wrong: " The Fender Telecaster bridge pickup underwent several evolutionary changes from the 1950s into the mid-1960s (roughly 1950–1965), though the core design remained a single-coil with six Alnico rod magnets, fiber flatwork, and no adjustable poles (except for stagger...

still the same on iPad. However, not a problem if switch from landscape to portrait view.

iPad air:

“Pros · Exceptional clarity for a neck-position humbucker · Tight low end with no muddiness on wound strings · Very fast and precise pick response · Excellent note separation, even in higher registers · Brighter and more articulate than typical...

UMC404HD has a switch for instrument vs line level out.

Thank you. Can run the Dream 65 pedal through that set up and it sounds great. Maybe should try a Luna preamp as Securb suggests.

Thanks. Guess I need to continue mucking about with EQ and input levels.
