Does anyone have any suggestions for pickup combinations? I play classic rock/ alternative rock. I have a MIM Strat and the stock pups are pretty bad.

Custom Shop 69's seem to be fairly popular.

Thanks mate, but I was looking for a higher output pup at the bridge and the other two maybe lace sensors? Sorry for not including that bit.

Kinman MKIII Zero Hum Traditional set.

of for something a little more hot, heavy rock

Kinman Woodstock set

Try fooling around with different pickup heights and various amplifier settings before you go out and spend a whole pile of dough on a new set. At worst, you lose a couple of hours of tinkering; at best, you save a couple hundred bucks.

I recommend Seymour Duncan Alnico II APS-2's in the Neck\Middle and SSL- 6 in the bridge. The Flat poles make for even picking volume. The 2's are vintage sounding and output and the 6 is hotter. I'd also add a Base Plate to the Bridge.

Go try a 57Hotrod and see if you like the ToneZone in the bridge position. Plenty of output and mids, great for any kind of rock.

Try J.S. Moore pickups. Jon made very good pickups and you can ask what you want by e-mail.

You can talk to him personnaly. I replace my original pickups (cheap) from my American Standard Strat : Wow what a sound

Played a 57 hot rod yesterday really like the tone zone.

Hello!

Bellow is a copy of my post from a previous thread.

My preferance for a good all round pup would be a set of Lace Sensors (red, silver and blue). There are as noiseless as pickups get, well designed and manufactured. They are also reasonably priced. To my ears they have a very contemporary tone.

I'd recommend trying out a set before you spend any money as they are, not to everyone's taste. You'll either lov'em or hate um!

Bridge – Red Lace Sensor - Resistance: 14.5k. Great for your Metal, Hard Rock duties etc. Loads of mid range power.

Middle – Silver Lace Sensor - Resistance: 7.1k. Good for funk and blues. Quite full sounding for a middle pup, very usable

Neck – Blue Lace Sensor - Resistance: 12.8k. Really nice deep soulful tone for blues. Quite close to a P90. Roll off the tone to get your jazz tone (though can be a bit bassy)

Use these pups in conjunction with a decent EQ pedal or active wiring (on-board pre-amp etc) and your in business! Everything covered!

The above is based on my experiences. Yours and others may vary.

Hope this helps

Andy
