Now we're talking. Nice one.

You can make a lower wind pickup have a similar resonance peak (amplitude and frequency) as a higher wind pickup with a load capacitor. That solves the basic EQ problem you point out. My experiments in that field didn't turn out great, though.

Don't you have a gun of the fitting caliber?

In-series is very cool if you are also out-of-phase. I would also mention a Q-filter instead of one tone control.

Any large conductor inside the magnetic field of the pickup will dampen the amplitude of the resonance peak, aka cut treble, via eddy currents. I would have said that it should be about as much as a humbucker cover, but I would believe it when somebody tells me the effect is more pronounced...

Brobucker. We just have to wait "a while" :)

Next size up will probably get you into trouble with your nut slots. It is hard to say whether you just have a string from a bad batch. Generally the differences between string makes and products can be significant. If you like the sound otherwise I would first get another identical set and...

Why?

Don't underestimate how much compute power modern CPUs have.

There also is the StraBro90, which is Strat single coil sized.

Me, too. Same verdict.

I'm sure it will be cheap: https://www.gibson.com/blogs/gibson-gazette/gibson-custom-releases-signed-michael-schenker-1971-flying-v-collector-s-edition

Maybe a P-90 in the neck is for you?

I also didn't like the QP. Don't remember too much detail now.

In a way I envy you to have seen one of *those* shows.
