Czesc Peterku! Not talking about mainstream but for examle Funky Groove or Scofield kind of sound... I play a lot of Miles Davis too but try to do the pieces in more modern way.. You know, I don't want Gibson ES sound, only warm full jazzy sound.. Oh! My guitar is MIU 84 Strat.. You have the details, so what is the final answer?
BTW: You use Planet Waves cables.. are they good??
I personally love the Cool Rails' tone. I used to have one of these in the neck position of my good ol' Samick (mahogany body/maple neck/rosewood fretboard/Floyd Rose etc.). Recently sold the guitar, the pickup is waiting for the next one... :32:
I'd describe it's tone as being a nice blend between single-coils and humbuckers. It has nice attack (single-coil-like), but a warm bottom and also warm highs. It doesn't have that sometimes unpleasent compression of the regular humbuckers, it has nice dynamics instead. For me, it's certainly a keeper.
Yes, absolutely. I have 3 hot rails in my strat and I'm going to put either cool rails in the neck and middle or go with 3 little 59's. The rails are definitely warm and fat. The cool rails are hot with the clean bite that you want
