Seymour Duncan ?

[badfinger]

Anyone tried the SD single-coil-sized rail humbuckers? I'm looking for a fatter sound out of the bridge pup and wondered what these were like.

Well I'm getting a strat built and the guy recommended I try the Hot Rails so I figured why the hell not. Can always change 'em. I just hope they're not *too* hot for more bluesy single coil tone.

Ric,

Try either of these...I like both of them....just depends on the application.

Big fan of both of the ones Tim mentioned.

My gigging Strat has the following:

Neck - Cool Rails
Middle - Classic Stack
Bridge - Little '59

I also use push-pull pots to split the neck (volume pot) and bridge (2nd tone pot) pickups. I've found that the Classic Stack is so close to a single coil pickup, that there's really no need to split it - so, when the 1st tone pot is pulled up it will turn on the neck pickup regardless of the 5-way switch (i.e., I can get all possible pickup combinations).

So, the tone pots look like this:

Volume pot "up" - Neck pickup is split
1st tone pot "up" - Neck pickup is turned on regardless of 5-way switch setting
2nd tone pot "up" - Bridge pickup is split

This setup is very versatile (as you might imagine) tonewise.

Ive tried the JB junior, lil 59 and the hot rails. I thought all of them sounded great....exept the hot rails, which I thought sounded horrible. I think "toneless peice of crap" was the term I used at the time, but that was years ago, and I kind of like EMGs ok now, which I hated then.

I like the JB in the bridge and Dimarzio virtual vintage in the neck and middle

[guitararmy]

I have a Dimarzio Fast Track 2 in a bridge position and love it--more tone than a hot rail. The Virtual Vintage models aren't as hot but are more stratty...
I don't know if the new Bardens are as nice as the old ones.
