The Pickup Place / Re: Air Zone with less bass?

« on: June 25, 2016, 11:28:42 AM »

Thanks much, everyone.  I tried pretty much everything:  pickup height, pole piece heights, tried the cap mod with both .047 & .022 (probably should have tried .015 or .010 but didn''t), etc. 

Long story short, even after all those tweaks, I still wasn't happy with the Air Zone in that particular guitar.  Swapped it for a Transition bridge and all is good in the world.

The Pickup Place / Air Zone with less bass?

« on: May 24, 2016, 01:45:39 PM »

I have a Les Paul-style guitar that currently has an Air Zone in the bridge and a Duncan 59 in the neck.  I like the Air Zone except I wish it had less low end.  Mids and highs are good.  Output level is good. 

Guitar is mahogany neck & solid body with an ebony fingerboard.  I mainly use it for P&W at church, so it covers a wide range of sounds and versatility is important.  I use the middle pickup selection a lot, so a bridge pickup that will blend well with the 59 in the neck is important.   

The Dimarzio Pickup Picker, suggests the Super Distortion for a lot of the options I select, but I'm thinking that might be too hot for what I'm wanting and not as good with cleans. 

I was considering a Transition bridge?  Thoughts on that?  Other recommendations?

Thanks.
