I have a 2020 PRS S2 Custom 24... I like the bridge pickup, but don't love it. Even after making adjustments to tone/amp I find the bridge pickup a bit thin (too much treble) Would like it to be a little more rounded/full I actually really like the neck pickup and don't really want to swap it out. Is there a good bridge pickup that can compliment the stock neck pickup?.. Or would you recommend swapping both if I'm going to do it? I was considering Seymour Duncan JB in the bridge... possibly getting the Seymour Duncan Hot Rodded set that has the Jazz in the neck I'm also curious how a Seymour Duncan 59 in the bridge would pair with the stock neck pickup, but I think I'd like a little more bite when we play our heavier rock stuff wouldn't it be cool to be able to try out different pickup combos with your own guitar and rig... maybe one day Anyone else try these? Opinions?
My Charvel came with a SD '59 neck and a SD JB bridge. I found tapped, the two outer coils sounded ' nicest '. But I think I'm past the ' Thunderhead ' stage of life. So I've elected to go APH II in the neck and Rocksong alnico II hybrid in the bridge. The JB is very popular and there's usually a few on eBay. It all boils down to personal choice. You won't know until you try. SD's have good resale value.
Thanks> Interestingly, I thought it would be the other way around, at least as traditional jazz features a round sound without too much highs.
. First, adjust pickup heights (generally lower or tipped), then adjust the screw poles (like mini-EQ controls), and last swap pickups. You can change where you pick the guitar to get different tones. Back by the saddles is Country Twang, up by the neck is more rounder thicker tone. See how Hendrix tips his pickups for more bass and less treble. Do that with your pickup(s) See how Joe sets up his guitar pickups (there's a part 6 on youtube). .
