Re: Are you a bridge or neck pickup guy?
i tend to use the bridge alot fo the time, as my bridge is equiped with a hot rail. I tend to use the stock neck single coil pick up when i need some nice cleans i love using it for cleans and playing anything that does not involve heavy distortion. So id say 75% of the time im on bridge, 25% of the time im on the enck pick up thats a single coil. The middle is worthless to me to be honest never use it.

Re: Are you a bridge or neck pickup guy?
i use both pretty evenly.
sometimes i even switch pickups in the middle of a phrase to get a certain sound.
for example doing a wide arpeggio and then when i reach the top move to the bridge position and bend. the result is a smooth arpeggio sound with a biting bend at the end- sweet

Re: Are you a bridge or neck pickup guy?
I mostly play with the bridge especially now i've got a custom there but i like the neck singlecoil for cleaner or slightly OD'ed blues type playing although my coil tapped custom is quite good for some of that. The stock pup was crap tapped. I will probably get a lil59 soon and will probably use the neck pup more then.

I used to be a big bridge pickup abuser. In the last year or so, I have been using the neck pickups alot more. They sound alot sweeter and toneful in my mind. I still have to use the bridge when the distorion is cranked though. The neck dosent cut it in that situation.

In the Schecter, the bridge when distorted, and split when clean. The Jag, mostly neck, neck through the rhythm circuit, or combined (the best clean sound in the world). The jag bridge pickup is too thin and twangy for most stuff. Been experimenting more with the neck on the Schecter, which is why I'm considering a Duncan for the neck, if I had more money.

all neck all the time! I also like pos 2 and 4 on my strat, and the bridge is used sparingly for heavier chording. But all neck! Strat neck pickups are very versatile on their own, they bite and they're soft and warm at the same time!

Re: Are you a bridge or neck pickup guy?
isnt it funny how the neck is named the rhythm pickup and the bridge lead? It's the other way around for most people!

Re: Are you a bridge or neck pickup guy?
To answer the question: Yes.
I use all of my pups. In the Nitefly, each pup has a distinct tone, and I use them as needed. Also, the tone control is very sensitive in this axe, and rolling it 1-2 notches makes an identifiable tonal change.
On LesStrat, the tone is either on or off (no discernible changes in other positions). LS is wired for coil-splitting (thanks Robert_S and Jeremy), so there's, three, six, ten, uh...................LOTS of pup choices.:wink:
