your welcome,i tried the floating and just like you said the punch of the pu was not there anymore so i set it to rest on the body and the tone had a lot more body and punch.

IF you look at the resistance and resonance peak of the SD and Custom 5, the 10k resistance and 7k resonance of the SD is what you would get if you unwound the C5 that is 14.4k resistance and 5.4k resonance peak. Both have Alnico 5 magnets and assuming they are both 43g. wire. Of course the wind pattern could be different. The hex screws could have some impact on the resonance frequency also. The high 7k resonance peak helps with the "single coilishness" as does the mismatched pole pieces

I've been extolling the virtues of the SD for quite awhile, but I've received a lot of flack...mainly that it is thin/screachy/bodiless/etc. I keep saying that it is one of the best hummers ever, even more than the Pearly Gates.
I'm glad to see that there are some converts now, not just because of what I or anyone else has said, but because of their own experience with the SD. It's my favorite bucker. Other favorites are '59 (A8) (bridge), Pearly Gates
, Gibson '57 , Custom 8 (bridge) in SG NOT LP, and of course........the infamous... P-90.
