well usually the notes sound really tubby na talaga when you use a lot of gain in the neck pick up position.
some of paul gilbert's songs in the silence followed by a deafening roar album have that kind of tone...
but it's a really good pickup when doing god-like string skipping runs, like the one paul usually does. it helps the notes decay a little slower so you don't have a dead silence while skipping strings...
but then again... panget nga pag masyado na mataas.
magandang neck pickup tone... gary moore in his cover of red house, using a strat. blues shred!
