Fatter bridge pickup for Tele?
I have did a lot of research but am still looking for a good bridge pickup for my Tele. I want something that is fat with good bass and sounds great clean and overdriven. I don't want single spaced humbuckers. Tried a Quarter Pounder for Tele and it just wasn't me. Tried SD Jerry Donahue but not fat enough for me. Seriously thinking about trying a Rio Grande Muy Grande but have read mixed reviews. Any thing I should look in to?

The Piledriver and Muy Grande have really interested me. Is there anything else out there similar?

How's about the Don Mare 038?

Broadcaster fatness abounds.

I'd call Lindy Fralin. He'll wind something to your specs, and he's especially good at zeroing in on what combination to use (winds, magnets, etc.).

Lollar makes a really fat and greasy bridge pickup.

Put it in my Hahn and it sounded just like the description.

"MrMunky" has it now and posted a clip a month or so ago.

I've got a texas special tele in my thinline & its super loud & fat... almost P90-ish but still retains snap & shimmer. Wound up around 11k & change. Matches great with a duncan jazz in the neck slot & the 4-way switch.

Just out of curiosity, are the TV Jones pickups very fat sounding?

Love the Rio Grande Half-Breeds. Always wanted to try that Stelly p'up. I just put a Seymour Duncan SSL-6 in my strat's bridge position. Really nice p'up for cheap. I wonder if they make a similar p'up for teles.
