K guys.I have my beloved part-o-caster Alder/Maple SSS.
Anyways I have a Dimarzio Blue Velvet(predecesor to true velvet)in the middle that I unwound from 5.9K to 5.4K and I am in love with this pup has that 50's strat chirp on the high strings.
I recently installed another Blue Velvet Bridge model in the bridge that reads 7.2K and this thing is just too middy and not trebly enough for me.
So my question is how much hotter is a bridge pickup suposed to be from the others to get balanced tones??
I'm firguring I took almost 10% off the middle one,so the bridge should be wound down to 6.6K to blend,sound right??
Any ideas?? I removed the other pickup 6 times till I got what I wanted but would rather not do that again.:scratchch

id think 6.6k or so would be a good place to start. youll find your sweet spot between 6.2k and 6.6k
