ceve4life Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 I'm wanting to buy a Dimarzio Vintage Solo pickup for my strat and I'm wandering where to put it. People have told me to put it in the front and put heavy pickups in the back to grab high and low sounds. Is that a good idea, or should I put pickups meant for picking up higher sounds in the back and lower in the front? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doeringer Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 If you can provide a little more information and clear up a few of your details, we could answer better. When you say back and front do you mean neck and bridge position? Thanks and welcome to PG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert_the_damned Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 If you're asking can you use a bridge pickup as a neck pickup (or vice versa) then yes you can. I've done it a number of times. There is a 'convention' that the bridge pickup is generally wound to a higher output than the neck but you can have it the other way it you like the sound of it. As I remember I saw a set of Rickenbacker pickups that were the other way (neck hotter than bridge) on ebay. Robert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
