Re: Pup combo in LP Classic
I have replaced the ceramics in my 2000 Classic with '59 neck and bridge. I think they will work well for Rock and Classic Rock. I like them far better than the ceramics ( in my own case). I needed a pickup that would be more versatile and that I got with the '59s. Duncan has others that work just as well such as Alinco Pro II and the C5 and also the Seths and Antiquities. I like the e.q. on the '59s though. Yes, the neck can get bassy sounding if you are not careful with your amp's tone controls, and you need to pay attention to the pickup height, especially with the neck pickup ...'59n. Once I had it dialed in to my satisfaction, I was really pleased with these '59s. There is plenty of bass, mids, and highs to go 'round.
I adjusted them for height by starting with the bridge '59 and adjusted it for what I though would be the best tone I could get from it....then I put the pickup selector in the middle position and adjusted the neck pup height until I got the best middle tone I could get; last, I fined tuned the neck height andusing the guitar's controls got a good neck tone. Try this method if you are having some difficulty dialing in any set of pickups.
