Or do you guys just live with the fact that one pickup is louder than the other and compensate some other way? I hate using the guitar's volume control, because it also rolls off some highs.
yeah depending on the output of the neck pickup...I prefer lower wind neck PUPs they sound better to me, I don't try and get them perfectly balanced, I think they sound better when theres more bridge than evenly matched. I do drop the bridge a tad if they are way outta wack. I put the neck as close as I can go, like 1.5mm or so.
