Re: Vote for your favorite Combo
I love that setup, but I have it wired slightly less than typically. I have the bridge C5 and neck SCR-1 wired to a Gibson style 3-way and the middle SCR-1 is attached directly to the volume knob with an on-off switch. I can't get the middle pickup by itself, but I can get bridge/neck or all 3 which you can't get with a 5-way.
I'm using a Marshall 2555 into a 1982B cab with G12Hs. The guitar is a Charvel Model 4 with a maple neck and a Kahler Pro. The tone of the C5 is very full and thick, slightly bright on top but not icepick bright. The SCR-1s have a very SRV-like tone to them. The cleans are nice and bright, but still very full and the leads absolutely scream. I didn't like the C5 with a rosewood board (seemed muddy) but the maple really did the trick. I also have a 500K volume in the guitar for all pickups, and it's strung with DR Pure Blues 11-50 in Eb.
