I know this has been done before, and theres a thread about this in the Vault - but tastes update themselves.

So get to it! :)
 
Re: Post your favourite pickup combos!

SH-1N '59 Neck and SH-4 JB Bridge on my LP's. Best of both worlds combination: Vintage/Progressive. Only pickup combo i'll ever need in any situation that works on ANY style of music you can think of. I've used the same combo when i played pro for 5 years. Been using it for 15 years now. :dance: :burnout:

SH-13 bridge and SH-10N Neck in pretty much every guitar I play.
It's a combo that totally kills.
 
Re: Post your favourite pickup combos!

APH2/CC...like 2 giant sticks of buttah...
 
Re: Post your favourite pickup combos!

ooooh well... i recently installed a duncan livewire set and i LOVE the sound of both pickups however im having problems with them atm (thus my post about the problems)

so im not gonna count those...
The best combo besides that would have to be...

The Duncan '59 in the neck (sexy sounding :P) and.. hmm...
Ill have to say the Kent Armstrong ULTRA DISTORTION for the bridge...

kent armstrong is a cheaper "off"-brand but i love metal (music.. duh) and that pickup is great!! better than duncan distortion when on a mahogany bodied guitar .. if you ask me anyways :)

Seth / Seth in a Les Paul. Beautiful PAF-style tone for classic rock and blues.
 
Re: Post your favourite pickup combos!

let's see here...for a mahogany guitar (LP, schecter etc) i like a JB bridge Jazz neck...for a tele i love a hotrails in the bridge and an SM-1 vintage mini hum. in the neck...for alder H/H guitars i like a CC bridge and PG neck...for a typical 3 PU strat...i'm still searching.

Re: Post your favourite pickup combos!

I change very frecuently but 59/JB it's my current favorite. :D

59 neck/Paf classic bridge it's a quite nice one too.
 
Re: Post your favourite pickup combos!

I gotta love that pair of 59's. Clean, bluesy, jazzy, and still rocks. :)
 
Re: Post your favourite pickup combos!

Though I like it here's nothing particularly special about the CC/HR/CR set up on my Predator. That is of course until you split the CC and run it with the Hot Rails. It is UNHOLY. It gives almost a funky-country sound, if you can understand that. Never heard anything like it. It sounds pretty cool dirty, too.
 
Re: Post your favourite pickup combos!

Hard to say when you haven't really seen a need to change what you use for (lets count on the fingers here 1 ...2 ...3) ... about 6-7 years.

All hails to the Full Shred Bridge, '59 neck combo

Air Zone/Bluesbucker in an ash Strat, both covered, w/ 500K pots.
 
Re: Post your favourite pickup combos!

SSL-1 in all three positions. Same polarity and output.

Someone had to "chime" in on single coils.
 
Re: Post your favourite pickup combos!

I would have to say PG neck with a CC bridge. Works great for me...couldnt ask for more.
 
Re: Post your favourite pickup combos!

LesStrat is quite happy with his

HR/CR/HR configuration

Re: Post your favourite pickup combos!

In my LP: Pearly Gates Set
In my Carvin (APH/CC)
Tele: tossup between Hot Set or SM1/JD combo
Strat: Albert Lee sig set (Very similar to APS-2's).
 
Re: Post your favourite pickup combos!

i really like the antiquities in my bluesbird and in my tele
i also like the voodoo te50's in a tele. vintage sound but much hotter than the duncan antiquities.
