Hi gang,
I've had a Carvin B4 (bolt-on) w/ passive electronics (neck vol, bridge vol, tone) for about 15 years now. Never really loved the sound, but always thought it felt great. It has the J99 jazz-style single coils, which have always had too much spanky high-mids for my taste. I try to play all different styles...I play a lot in church, used to be in a buttrock band, and love playing, well, everything.
I am new to the tweaking of instruments, but have some skill with a soldering iron and am eager to make this thing sound as nice as it plays. Any suggestions for new pickups (maybe skinny humbuckers?) and the associated pots/caps/whatever? Thanks for any help.
