Re: Tips for taming a Black Winter bridge

Rolling back the tone knob a bit is like amputating a limb?

You're interpreting and quoting me wrong.

If a pickup you're using is too bright and you need to tame the highs, having your tone knob permanently on 6 or 7, is not tackling the issue.

You know, I do enjoy giving people a hard time, but that wasn't the case here. You did make the comparison. And while having the tone knob permanently on 6 or 7 might not seem the best permanent solution, I certainly don't consider it that extreme. It's just another case of adjusting one's sound by using one's ears not eyes. There is always the possibility that the op might change the environment where they are playing and decide that now, their sound isn't bright enough.
As I have gotten older, I have become even more frugal. Sure, the ultimate solution to the op's problem might just be another pickup. But I still believe in trying the cheapest solution first.

Just rip it out, why fight a battle with a pickup that needs so much to make it good? Harsh is the word, its nasty but not good nasty IMO

Not a reasonable suggestion to just treat too much high end in the pup. Too much "bite", as the OP is complaining about, is easily corrected. Some fine suggestions were given to fix this problem without having to sacrifice the pup.

You've given good advice with some of your posts...this is not one of them.
