I´ve always preferred single coils over humbuckers, but thru the years I´ve come to dig the sound of a tube amp driven into a nice breakup with the aid a bridge humbucker.
Lately I´ve been playing Les Pauls quite a bit, but I just find it hard to get a detailed low end out of the neck humbucker. (I want to hear "THE STRING" not "LOW FREQUENCIES" when I play the bass strings with a clean sound)
Right now I use a Duncan Jazz in the neck position with the bass side lowered for a better balance. This PU is OK, but there´s always room for improvment, right
I might have a PU custom wound for me and my question is if anyone has tried PUs at about 6,5k? (I dont know if I´ve seen any pickup - apart from the DiMarzio "Humbucker from hell" - measuring as little as that.
How low, in that respect, can one go without loosing to much body/output?
(Please no replies like: Go for a single coil/P90! as my quest right now is to find out how to make a neck humbucker sound the way I want it to sound
