john Posted January 19, 2004 Report Share Posted January 19, 2004 hi there, a friend of mine wants to upgrade the pickups in his MIM fender powerhouse strat deluxe. Now i know it is active, but presumeably its just a pre-amp(mid booster) and passive pickups(noiseless?). so bearing this in mind can you reccomend a decent set of pickups(sub $200) that would make a decent improvement in tone and give him more bite ? i was thinking fender lace sensors, but i dont know much about them, any opinions? thanks, John.

Snork Posted January 19, 2004 Report Share Posted January 19, 2004 YES!!!!!! lace sensor p/us are the best. the hot gold series is a little more versitile tone and can go to even metal depths. But to me the Holy Grails have GREAT tone. I listened to clips of a guy playing all types of the laces. and i have to say, they are MUCH better than most strat pickups. check them out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
