My SSL5 bridge sounds to thin!

Re: My SSL5 bridge sounds to thin!

It is not about my definition of fat sounding, maybe i should set up more height on pup, would it then be fatter or just louder?

It's free enough to try I'm surprised you hadn't already.

Bridge pup bypasses all tone controls.

I'd get a tone control wired into the bridge position.

I didn't tried yet because volume level of all pick ups seems to be exactly the same and thats what i want, but i ll try to put the bridge higher.

Sounds like the OP wants the sound of a humbucker, not a single coil.

How high do you have the SSL5 in relationship to the other pickups? It really should be much louder.

The same height, i also tought it will blow away with loudness comparing to other two pups, but its not the case.

I’d suggest moving the middle tone to the bridge and raising the pup higher. That should help thicken it up. If that isn’t enough then you might want a qp or ssl3 instead
