Re: Strat restlessness
And final update... after a loan of a couple of Kdawg's strats and some research, I sprung for some Fender Pure Vintage 65's. ♥♥♥
Really happy with them, every position is totally usable and they were very reasonably priced. I have them set quite low and get really nice sustain. Stoked! Wee soundcloud demo below using my new iso-drobe. Tried to not be annoying to listen to, apologies in advance![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)
Recording details:
Each line is repeated in all 5 positions starting with the Neck and ending on Bridge. Overdrive used briefly about 2:00 through is a Madbean Sparkplug. Recorded using my 18w TMB Plexi-Voiced Amp built from a Trinity Amps Kit. Speaker is a Scumback H75. Close miked with a AT2035 condenser into a crappy audio interface. (Tascam US-144 - REALLY soddy A/D and preamps). No Post EQ or compression, a tiny touch of reverb on the pedalboard using a Blue Sky. This is raw off the mic. Cheers![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)

Re: Strat restlessness
This puzzles me a bit. The DiMarzio mini humbuckers in my new guitar read similarly low but they drive the amp more than the 5.8 reading single coils in my Strat.griff7628 wrote:I get a beautiful clean through my Marshall clone with gain quite high because my neck pickup is quite low output.

Re: Strat restlessness
Magnet type and wire gauge used play a big part in that, said ash to me years ago.
The alnico 2s in the goldtop measure much the same as the alnico 5s in the dot - the goldtop is far more raucous; leads me to believe alnico 2 shouldn’t be wound that hot lol.
