Members iamthearm Posted May 18, 2013 Members Share Posted May 18, 2013 so i love how strats play but every one i've owned the bridge pickup sounded really thin. i always ended up putting a stacked humbucker in the bridge but then you lose your single coil to fuzz pedal relationship plus switching pickups just ends up sounding weird. anyone have any recommendations for a replacement that has some nice body?

Members Urinate Forever Posted May 18, 2013 Members Share Posted May 18, 2013 I have no recommendations but i've always thought that having no tone for the bridge contributed to that problem. I usually run the bridge and middle together with the tone rolled off on the middle pickup a bit. What pickup are you using now/looking at now?

Members reverberlayed Posted May 18, 2013 Members Share Posted May 18, 2013 Wire a tone knob to the bridge. As for pickups, I like Fender CS '54 and the Rio Grande Muy Grande. The '54 still sounds straty with slightly more bite and thickness (especially with the tone rolled down to about 7.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members alien Posted May 18, 2013 Members Share Posted May 18, 2013 I use Fralin Vintage Hots, i think the treble pickup comes with what is called a Bass plate or is it Base Plate? Tomo Fujita turned me onto them at TGP back in the day. Sonny Landreth is also a Fralin VH user, he has some good youtubes and also a good premeir guitar rig rundown with rebecca derps. or drips? lol so yeah Vintage Hots, I also had a Fender "class of '54" in my warmoth I think this was just as the Custom Shop was being born back in the day. I would like to try that in the bridge of something, I really shoud take a luthier class. my warmoth with fender neck, now has fralin blues specials , if memory serves , is a nice creamy pickup. ?? I also am reliant on my tone knobs, a real hidden world in those knobs , such a life saver! I think my best strats have both TONE knobs working on all three pickups it seems.
