I bought an SSL-6 on the cheap from wymore guitars before they closed, with a "it'll probably work out OK" kind of attitude.
Threw it in a MIM strat. Turns out the whole guitar had too much for me in the upper mids so I yanked the pickup and sold the guitar.
Threw it in my yamaha EG112 pickup-test-bed guitar, in the neck. Thick.
Got bored tonight and stuck it in the bridge of my new ash-bodied Am. Std. WAY NICE. It's got plenty of bass but a smooth, even midrange, and the highs are airy. On the first few licks, I thought I was playing a broadcaster-style pickup. No joke.
I'm back to being an SSL-5/6 enthusiast!
I gotta mess with the height and the volume balance to get it to not make the fender singles seem so weak. The character of the fender middle and neck are good, but damn, switching to the bridge while going into an OD pedal is like... kicking on another OD pedal!
