Re: Do you like Vintage or Modern sounding pickups?
I'm a huge fan of modern pick ups and modern sounding music, and I don't mean the bands you see on MTV or something :laugh2:
I'm always looking for a singing tone with lots of clarity under a reasonable amount of gain and I feel the tone I get from modern pick ups like the JB are really awesome.

vintage because bands rocked back in the 60's and 70's with vintage pickups. Heck, Maiden did metal with PAF's in self titled, killers, and number of the beast. Now they do it with hotrails to sound more contemporary, but i liked their old tone much better, very transparent and heavy at the same time.

There are good vintage sounding pickups, and there are good sounding newer pickups. On the flipside of that, there are alot from both groups that sound like A$$. It depends what sound I am looking for. Just because something is old, it dosent mean it is better.

im a huge fan of the antiquity line and other vintagey single coils and in general i like vintage style buckers as well but that has alot to do with the music i play. i still keep one guitar loaded with a set of screaming hot pups. qp flat neck, jbjr bridge in the middle and a 17k c5 will allen head poles in the bridge, its a fun guitar to play

Well, ised to be into more modern sound until my local guitar shop owner had me a play a vintage gibby semi-hollow with origianl pickups......now I know my needs are for antiquities or vintage buckers ALL THE WAY. I don't even like my 59' or JB much anymore! And they are phenomenal pickups to tell the truth!

i am of the opinion that those vintage PUs do modern tones well too. i recently bought the Fender Am Series 50th Anniversary Strat & there are a trio of vintage '50s single coils in there, but they do modern, high gain tones very well.

I like both, but I tend to prefer lower output vintage pickups.
When a pickup is wound hot it sounds compressed and squashed to me.
They can be a lot of fun to wail the blues with, but ultimately real hot pickups can sound a little bit adolescent and corny.
