Vintage Middle

[GandLMan]

Hey guys, So on my G&L i have three GBlade pickups in it, I like the the blade's in the neck and bridge, but I want a more vintagey middle position as I like a notch position to be more SRV\Gilmourish and the blade's I have are just not single coily enough, what do you recommend?

Re: Vintage Middle

I can only add a little bit here. I have a set of SSL-4's in my Tele-clone, and as much as I like them . . . I wouldn't call them "vintage". They're very high-output, and have a touch of humbucker tone to them. If you get the "tapped" versions, you can dial them down to closer to vintage, but they still don't have quite the same chime as the SSL-1's I've tried.

Just my 2-cents worth.

So what would you recommend for a more vintagy jangly single coil?

Re: Vintage Middle

i really liked the classic stack single coil i put in my strat for the middle position. i always mixed it with the quarter pounder in the neck. i think the best way i could describe would be round and warm. just a nice clean sound.

*edit* lookin at ur comment, it wasnt really a jangly sound. maybe a duckbucker? never had one but have heard good things.

Re: Vintage Middle

Well hmmmm, im not sure if jangle is the right word, like I said, looking for an SRV\David Gilmour vibe

I've got SSL-1's in the middle and neck of my Legacy and it covers that sort of ground perfectly IMO. A bit more drive and you get a Hendrix vibe. Lovely sounding pickups.

Re: Vintage Middle

How can I balance the output of the SSL1 with the Blade's as I would imagine they aren't going to be the same output . . .
