Yeah, that AI thing is going to be the worst thing to happen to this Forum. It maybe already is.

Totally depends on the guitar and the pickups in question @spawnofthesith .

Hot/overwound Bridge PU no f'ing way. Vintage wound.

Also, rolling that volume and tone back a smidge is my friend.

Fixed that for you.

Also, yes, I like bridge cleans as long as it has a tone knob. It's actually a somewhat recent development, though.

I still don't like single coil bridge cleans.

This, unless I’m doing the 80’s compressed clean thing. For all other cleans, it’s the neck or in-between positions.

for the tiny amount times we use cleans in our set im not flipping to the neck pickup just to forget and start the next song there hahaha

At first I said no, but I'm quite certain all those wonderfully sterile cleans on Operation: Mindcrime and a ton of Metallica clean tones have been the result of a bridge pickup and a shitload of chorus.



And duh.....dunno how I forgot about this guy-

Fuck! You literally beat me to it. I was about to reference “Suite Sister Mary.” That song demands a hot, compressed, bridge pickup clean.

I swear I was literally typing it when you posted!

Ha ha ha

Voted yes even if I'm not fan.
Is not that I like them but sometimes they work.

All that said I play Gibson guitars and my go to clean is middle position.

 

[laxu]

Yes for me. Sometimes you want a bit more "quack" in your cleans.

Great shout! JC120 for the motherfucking win!

That solid-state front end doesn't react in the same way as a tube amp would with an hot signal.
That's probably one of the reasons why it was so adored and loved---and always will be.

I do wonder about guitar settings (volume roll back and such), mic pres, and compressors in the chain.
Certainly some warmth had to have been added somewhere along the way.

Touch is an important factor, too. Feather light, and no need to hammer too hard with the
picking hand/fingers. Unless you want to.
