Pickup demo: Little 59, APS-2, SSL-6

Wow- I was really impressed with the Little 59 single coil in overdrive. I had the impression that the small side by side coils would sound tinny when split, but that sounded beautiful.

I also like the middle alone overdrive (why is that pos. so unpopular?) and all 3 on in over drive (both with the little 59 full and split).

Happy the demo could be of some help. I also like the 59 split. It's smooth and chimey but has some body as well.

As for the middle position, I know some blues players like it as it cuts quite well through the mix. Clapton I think uses it quite a bit. I'm not wild about it on its own, but it's fine for that twangy surf music. Then again, you don't play that too often ...

So, here's another demo with the new pickup configuration. Did it a bit different this time, playing all pu combinations with open chords, closed chords and lead lines, both clean and overdriven. More comprensive. But it got very long ... If you have the patience, enjoy.
