Re: Favorite Pickup Configuration

i really like the H-H configuration, but you gotta have a hum-splitter switch for those single coils runs you may have in a gig or studio situation.

I stongly agree and Find myself having to switch guitars for those single coil runs... which is a possibility in the studio, not so much in a gig... Oh well, not gonna have my strat re-wired right now....
Rock on :headbang:

Re: Favorite Pickup Configuration

i would like to try the SRV one neck pickup configuration. No other pickups, just neck.

Re: Favorite Pickup Configuration

Well... I've voted HSS and the fact it's that I don't have that type of guitar!! It's just that I love the tone of a bridge humbucker and a neck SC. It's seems to me that has to be a pickups configuration with a great versatility.

Since this things back, I might as well reply in it...lol

I love single coils. Through time I've learned to stay away from humbuckers (just not my cup of tea at all).

My dual P90 LP Special is *my* guitar. That's the simple configuration that works for me above anything else.

I'm going to be getting a humbucker routed p90 in a little bit to get that p90 flavor out of my (right now) H-S-S strat. Love the single coil strat tones, but the P90 bridge is just the stuff my dream tone is made of. A p90-S-S combination might be pretty cool so I'll be looking forward to hearing the results.

Re: Favorite Pickup Configuration

my set up is HH singles sound too thin to me i need beefy and i just put my pickups and tone on full and work my sound around that i rather have just the bridge then have a s neck pick up

Re: Favorite Pickup Configuration

i love the HH setup in my schecter but i think the HSS can be a more versatile arrangement.

Re: Favorite Pickup Configuration

Re: Favorite Pickup Configuration

SSS, but lately, I have been desiring something that seems to be lacking from my bidge pup... As such, I am putting a L'il 59 in within the next few days... Awaiting its arrival via USPS!

Even then, I will have the push-pull pot for T2 so I can split the coils and still get the Strat-style tone in #4....

As of now, I usually only play rhythm in #2 and Lead in #1 with the tone rolled back for buttery warm tones....

Re: Favorite Pickup Configuration

Well, my personal fav is a single mini bucker in the bridge. (Strat, floydrose)

But for general playing I think a bucker in the bridge and a single in the neck is the best.

Why would you want to use the neck for rythm? lol... The bridge can do that.

I also love that tone, so I'm keeping my JB in the bridge spot and putting a DiMarzio Humbucker From Hell in the neck spot which has a very "single coil type" sound, I'm sure I'll post something aobut it once I get to try it out next week.

Rock ON :headbang:

A minihumbucker or a single coil sized bucker?

 

[Mephis]

Re: Favorite Pickup Configuration

Minibucker.

You know what im talking about right?
Not thoes single coil sized ones.

Re: Favorite Pickup Configuration

HH because you can split some pickups and itd be like you have humbuckers and single coils, why not?

i would also say HSH but i play on a guitar with HH so yeah, i chose that
