Re: Alnico II pro's a little bright
I'd reckon bumping a tone knob somewhere in the right direction or fiddling with pickup height could rectify your situation.

Yeah, change'em for an A2-modded, nickel-covered '59 set... or go the extra mile and get a Seth Lover set. You can thank me later!

Re: Alnico II pro's a little bright
Yeah, both an A2 in a 59 and Seth Lover are smooth, but in a different way than the Alnico II Pro. It might be a sideways step in the end. The Alnico II Pro isn't really much of a bright pickup as it is, however. If you can deal with an increase in power, the Black Winter is certainly smoother.

Re: Alnico II pro's a little bright
Does your guitar and/or amp have a tone knob? I find that they generally work quite well at removing some of the unwanted brightness.
Or, as suggested, you could try a lower value vol pot (250k is easier to find and cheaper than a 300k...you won't notice a difference between the two).
