C-5 with a 300k volume pot!!!!!
Holy Cow! This is an amazing combination! I tried this and was blown away in my lP Standard. I love the stock Burstbucker Pros pickups but wanted something a touch fatter and hotter in the bridge while retaining a big, open sound with a vintage twist. It had to also retain the aggression the Burstbucker Pro bridge can dish out. I think this is it. I had tried the C-5 in the past with 500k volume pot in an LP and didn't like it because it seemd to thin out the tone a bit or take away some of the creaminess. The 300k seems to put the creaminess back while decreasing some of the upper mids. The low mids are nice and fat. I was afraid of going back to a medium-hot pickup for fear of losing that big, fat sweet tone of a PAF but somehow the C-5 retains that character.

I see it whenever people are talking about a pickup's output, and I have no idea what the **** it is.
thanks

JB not enough power
Hi, my question is about pickups. I currently have a Hotrails in my Strat bridge and I’m looking for something comparable to put in the bridge of my Les Paul. I currently have the Duncan JB in the bridge and it’s not hot enough. I don’t want a full metal sound but wont something I can crunch with and rip pinch harmonics. Am looking at the Duncan Distortion but not sure if that will work. Thanks

Pickup advice needed (fat strat)
I have a Fender am. deluxe ash strat with maple neck and the Fender deluxe trem. Though i LOVE the guitar and it's beautifull green transparent finish but i really don't like the stock Fender vintage noiseless pickups. They sound very compressed and lifeless to me. Nothing vintage really. So i'm looking for some new pickups and i'm definatly going for a HSS setup. I would like to get that Peppers quot;under the bridgequot; and 70's Gilmourish lead tone out of the neck/middle single coils and be able to shred like Satriani on my bridge bucker. For the single coils i am considering Fender Texas specials but i'm afraid they are maybe a bit TOO hot for a good clean quot;bellquot; like picking sound. I prefer true single coils with the original stratquot;quackquot; over stacked humbuckers. For the bridge humbucker i was looking at a diMarzio PAFpro (best bridge humbucker i ever owned in my opinion), or Duncan either custom5, Pearlygates or Pearlygates . Something that would give me a nice dark fat growl on high gain without overpowering the single coils TOO much. (A SLIGHT volume boost is actually kinda cool)

What pickup would this be?
A '59 with less bass, more mids, same output, and less glassy highs. What neck pickup would this be closest to?

Strat sized P-90's
How many options there?Are the Quarter Pounders close?
