Neck or Bridge pickup preference ?

I've been playing my LP more lately and am getting more comfortable with it, buy I don't think I'm ever going to really get into the neck humbucker just by itself. Compared to the bridge, its' just so murky & thick sounding. For the type of music I like, it's just kind of pointless.

Maybe a better quality or different pickup would change my mind.

It's ok for a diversion for a few minutes, but if I play for an hour I'd probably stay on the neck for 2 minutes and 58 on the bridge. Not a big middle setting guy either, although I prefer that over just the neck.

I like the single coil strat on a neck much better than the neck bucker on an LP, I enjoy that sound for some bluesy stuff, but to me neck buckers by themselves are a waste of time.

I guess that's why they make that one pickup LP!

What pickups do you have in your LP? The wrong 'bucker in the neck will not sound good, but once you find the right one, it can produce some KILLER tones.

It's just the stock pup that came with the guitar, the LP is a "Tradition" which is kind of an obscure make but it's a well made guitar and the bridge gets an excellent tone.

Maybe it's just a bogus pickup.
