tele pup swap!

[simon_sayz]

Just purchased a 99 tele w/ Dimarzio fast track 2's in it. Yuck!! Need to change both of the pickups. Anyone have any ideas? Looking for a "glassy" sound. Not thin. My sound now is kinda muddy and lots o mids. My band plays a radiohead, foo fighters type thing so I need a hot bridge pup.

Gear List:
99 tele w/ 2 single coil pup config
Mesa Maverick head
Mesa 4x12 cab w/vintage 30s
Misc Pedals

Thanx!

simon,
I have a page on my AS tele - I have a JD bridge/ Hot neck, and that's an interesting combo - see my sig for some clips.

I have another set I haven't tried yet - it's similar to a Hot, tapped bridge/ Hot neck. Used with a 5-way switch, that would give you several different tones. It's similar to a set up that both Seymour and Evan use in teles.

good luck in your quest!
