Title: Pickups for my Strat
Post by: effectsman on October 02, 2017, 04:18:54 AM

Hi all

I have a alder body maple neck rosewood fingerboard Strat which is reasonably bright. I am looking for a more powerful mid forward set of pickups. I have been using Seymour Duncan SSL 2s (no stagger) in the neck and middle and an SSL 6 (SSL 5 with no stagger) in the bridge. I like the SSL 6 for soloing, but I'm still looking to de-emphasize the treble and get more mid range and more oomph. The SSL2s are fairly vintage sounding and emphasize the treble.

I was thinking either Virtual Vintage Heavy Blues 2 in the neck and middle with an Injector bridge or Virtual Solo bridge.

Does anyone with experience in these have any feedback to share?

Thanks!

I agree with your neck and middle choices but if you don't want a vintage type single coil tone in the bridge I would consider one of the rail type pickups such as the Chopper or even the Pro Track.
