Howdy L',

Yeah the 275K issue. I really wanna figure that out, otherwise am gonna go crazy.

Anyway, here is the link:

And regarding what you are asking: Well I don't think doing what I have done to both pickups, or installing screws to both bobins is that necessary. When the pickup is increased enough, and the screws are burried into the pickup, the tone gets quite fat already. And frankly, if a pickup cannot get fat then, I don't think I'd keep it.

Thus the only issue is to keep the output and add some sparkle if needed. It generally can be done by increasing the height of the screws. But if that's not possible, manipulating the magnetic flied to favor the bobin on the bridge side does the trick.
