whats a Killer set of strat rock pickups

Go over to the fx forum and find the clips of the MI Crunch box recorded, most excellently, by ??? featuring a Strat with DiM fs-1's into a clean Marshall. I thought this was top-choice single coil rock tone, and sort of noted the combination for future reference.

 

A super versatile set:

Duncan Custom Staggered (bridge)
Duncan Vintage Staggereds (neck and mid)

Works with pretty much anything, with a great strong bridge pickup.

 

Rio Grande Dual Calibrated set- it's a Muy Grande (B), Halfbreed (M), and Vintage Tallboy (N). Definitely fat & punchy.


Even better, have Pete Biltoft wind you a set of his Strat-sized P90's:

HI either Lollar Blackfaces or Dimarzios VV & soloist

 

I've been thinking about getting a set of Lindy Fralin High Outputs.
I hear they are supposed to be good and fat. Can anyone confirm.

Or are the too "Bootek" for this thread?

 

I have a Fralin SP43 in the bridge of my Strat. Big, fat sounding single coil. Does AC/DC and Yngwie tones very well.

 

I use Duncans, a JB bridge humbuucker & 2 classic stacks

 

Vintage Vibe SP-90's

I've gotten nothing but great compliments since I installed these!

Check 'em out at: www.vintagevibeguitars.com.

Go to Pickups, and click on the Single Coils with the Copper wrapping.
Then click on: Single coil P-90 style pickups for Strat style guitars.

They have: 43 gauge magnet wire; 10,000 turns on the bridge pickup,
8,500 on the neck and middle.


- that's my Walnut "The STRAT" featured there.

Pete Biltoft is a great guy, too. His customer service is top notch.

 

:AOK

Waddayaknow...
I am after the same thing, a big fat chunky single coil that still sounds like a strat but not too bright. I Like a good fat compresed tone, don't like that thin, shrill stra ttone.

I hear that
the high output lindy fralins are on the darker side, anyone?

 

I've got Lace Sensor Hot Golds in my AD strat and I love them. I tossed the stock vintage noiseless (hated them) and put some CS '54s in-- nice clean tone, but low output and it was hard for me to get a really nice od/distortion tone. I'm not a fan of the look of the Hot Golds really, but I love the way they sound. For me they were a nice compromise because I get very nice clean strat tones and fantastic od/distortion tones. The bridge pu in this set is also around 13k.

 

duncan ants. never looked back,.

 

Easy, Fender SCN's! They are great clean to scream.

 

EMG S in the middle, and SA's for the bridge and neck. 3 position switch.

 

A set of Schaller S6s... good luck finding them in the US...

 

+1 I did up a friend's Strat with a set of these and he's very pleased with them, and he likes a good rock tone. No wimpy sounds there!

I'll second Pete's customer service, too.

 

DiMarzio still makes the FS-1, you can get them anywhere. I just popped one into my last partscaster. It is a great rock pickup!
