No, that's not a typo. I'm thinking about changing my Texas Special Strat (surf pearl, alder body with 1-piece maple neck) over to a HB (trembucker) in the bridge and a Strat SC at the neck -- no middle pickup. I'm also considering a Phat Cat or SM-1 or SM-3 at the neck like I have on some Teles, but I'd like to hear some opinions about Strat neck pickup (vintage or noiseless) and bridge HB combos.

I have a spare SSL-1 here, so I could start with that and a 59 TB, but I wouldn't mind a noiseless solution at the neck and a HB that sounds like a fat, overwound Tele pickup. I play primarily blues and blues-based rock material through vintage Fender (BF) and Gibson (tweed) amps (plus an EL84 15 watter for good measure).

bump - anyone able to help?

maybe a lil 59 in the neck to go with a 59 b?

just a thought

good luck

Yet another opportunity for me to spout off about my new favorite combo . . .

Quarter Pound, or maybe an SSL-6, quot;tappedquot;, with a C5 at the bridge.
Killer combo. (At least, from my amatuer point of view.)

i wouldn't call you amatuer, Artie
