Give me some body, then spank me

[zeppenwolf]

Hey.

I have a strat-styled guitar, (Hamer Vintage S), and I've got a hunkerin' to try a different bridge pup.

Currently, there's an APS-1 in there, (it's one of three, of course), and it's too thin and tinny-- I can't really use it.

I recently stuck those "graph-tec"(sp?) saddles in there-- the ones covered with teflon or graphite or whatever... and that actually helped, but I'm not sure that I want to keep them, since I think they goof the sound of the neck pup, which I don't want to change.

So-- am I correct to suppose that I might want to try the SSL-3 in the bridge? (I'm just going by the higher DC R, and the lower res peak)

Then-- if I could have everything, I'd want more spank/squawk/quack. Can I have it all? (I could maybe swap the middle pup too...)

Thanks.

PS: Hee. I didn't remember sticking that sig in here... Anyway, I wanted to add-- the guitar is two piece maple; I think that's part of the "problem".

The Twangbanger would do you well I think. It's a thicker tele sound madeto fit a strat's bridge. BTW, it's also alnico II.

Thanks, I hadn't noticed that one.

Just my luck, it's one of the few pups that doesn't have a sample on the mp3 comparisons page.

Hmmmm.

i used to have a twangbanger and i thought it was a great pickup....i think i have a few sound clips of the pickup in the link in my sig....those clips are from a long time ago, but i think some of them are the twangbanger....edit: GuitarToad TB clip is definately the twangbanger
