The Bridge is alright!

Hi all,
in many, many threads about Strats I read that players never use the bridge pu or change it for a humbucker immediately when they get a Strat.
I'm still relatiely new to the world of Strats (Les Paul to Tele to Strat) and own a '14 American Standard with the Fat50s.
The Tone is wired to the bridge pu and I have to say, that is clearly a must.
But with that I can get absolutely great, rocking sounds out of the bridge pickup, no need for any changes.
So, what's wrong with a Strat's bridge pu?

I agree... As soon as I wired the tone control to the bridge on mine I started exploring it and liking it. I also like to have a tube screamer or something similar to push the front of the amp when I’m using it. Nothing wrong with the bridge pickup at all.

I use the Bridge for just about everything. Either by itself or with the middle pickup. Get some nice hum canceling and some great quack in the 2 and 4 positions.

3bolt79, (with all due respect), what in the world is that thing in your avatar? It looks to me like a bearded, beakless bird . . . or, bearded white tes**cles with eyes.

As my high school students used to say OMG!
