I've got a '99 R9 stock. I am thinking about replacing one or both pickups with a '57 Classic + in the bridge and/ or bridge and neck both if recommended.
What I am trying to do here is get a little more punch out of the bridge pickup on my guitar. I run the bridge pickup quite high - close to the strings - and neck pickup just about flush with the ring and still don't have the punch when I go to the bridge. I do love the warm vintage sounds and would like to avoid too much spike and high end in the bridge. I would also consider putting a set of antiquities in the guitar as the guitar has been ridden hard and put up wet and looks like a Tom Murphy than a stock R9.
As you can see, I am looking for a good warm sound and would like the bridge pickup to be more powerful than the neck, however I am not necessarily looking for increasing the overall output. It's really the difference between the neck and the bridge pickup. As you can probably surmise, I need to spend some money very quickly here.
Any advice?
