hahaha! yeah, I love food bossing! I'll eat any except for those served in the Fear Factor menu.
on topic, I have a strat, you know, the traditional specs..alder body, vintage trem..etc.. it has a ceramic neck and middle PU, which, is pretty ok for me and as for the bridge, I'm going to install an SD alnico (SSL5) on the bridge..I wonder if its going to compliment. Though, I want to try out better PUs because the stock ceramics come in cheap but the wood is excellent. Strummed unplugged, ganda ng resonance, and I wouldn't want the PUs to be a constraint to its potential.
I can't afford to change the neck and middle for now, and I'm curious if there's a celebrity out there using such combo. I want a reference of how these interact together, how they sound when flicked to other positions.
Having alnicos for the n/m with a ceramic for the bridge is a bit popular..but what if its the other way around.
its popular cause it Make sense , the principle behind the ceramic B config i guess is that ... since ceramics really are kinda piercing in terms of tone fits well sa bridge.... where you go to when you want to get that "Bastos Bridge" tone. same goes with alnico on the neck if you want that SRV rounded tone, kind of like your playing sweet for most of song then when you go to a solo spot you get more bite when you switch to the bridge
oh i just checked the guitar... its actually ceramics sa M and B, pag sinipag ako palitan ko yung M ng Alnico since i still have some old pick ups stashed in my tool box...
pero sa ngayon the N - M position sounds nice to my ear (alnico N ceramic M) the alnico rounded tone is dominant dun sa blend nila (i just dont know baka kasi malapit sa neck ang position eh kaya mas rounded ang tunog
ill know later yung results ng Alnico M - Ceramic B
pero having said na maganda na yung puretone ng guitar by just playing it acoustically your mostly there kahit anong decent pickup siguro ikabit dyan it will sound good
theoretically you will loose a little bite sa bridge when you go for the alnico from ceramic
i never really tried alnico sa bridge at ceramic sa Mid. pag walang magawa subukan ko rin
