Strat pickup combination

[wyman]

Hello all,

I have SSL-1, SSl-5 and Fat 50 (bridge position). Do I have to put SSL-1 in the middle and SSL-5 in the neck? Is a good combo?

Thanks

Wyman

I put the SSL-5 Custom Staggered in the Neck, Twang Banger in the middle and a reversed angled body mounted Antiquity for '50s Fender Lap Steel. That is a hell of a combonation. I also have a EC Mid Boost.

Try the SSL-5 in the bridge position, the SSL-1 in middle or neck....and the Fat '50s in the middle or neck. The Fender Gilmore strat has the Fat 50s at the neck position (and SSL-5 in the bridge). I'd try that set up if I were you and come close to Gilmore's set-up and many others. Good luck!

Re: Strat pickup combination

id do fat 50's neck, ssl1 middle and ssl5 bridge but you could put the ssl1 in the neck and fat 50's in the middle and that would be fine too.

the ssl5 is the hottest pup there, putting it in the neck seems foolish to me
