hi all. i recently traded fender SCN pickup loaded pickguards with a guy i know on another forum and i got a bridge humbucker with 2 SCNs in it. the DH-1 is ok but it seems overly bright and thin sounding to me. im not sure of the pot value used but i have a feeling its a 1meg because the SCNs use 1meg pots for tone contol and since the bridge tone control works for both the bridge hum and the middle, 1 meg is the way id go if i was fender. but, even with the tone control at a setting where the tone isnt overly bright the pickup still sounds thin. people have recommended the c-5 trembucker and it sounds liike it would fit the bill but ive always been curious about dimarzio super distortions and other dimarzios with that huge mid spike. the SCNs have the mids pretty much scooped out so having a pickup with a lot of mids and decent bass would be pretty sweet. also, i dont want a super hot pickup as i want the #4 position (bridge + middle) to sound normal as opposed to having more bridge pickup than middle. any reccomendations or suggestions of any kind are welcomed. thanks in advance -stu
