So I've been experimenting with pickups lately, tyring to find my sound. I have a GFS Fatbody in the neck right now, I love it. Don't wanna change it, but I'm having a hard time finding a solid bridge pickup to compliment it. Everything I hear has too much high end, not enough bottom end, or just too modern. I prefer the vintagey Tele sound. I have a GFS Lil Puncher XL in the bridge right now and it's just not for me. I feel like it'll sound great out of a JCM or Mesa, but out of a Tweed Fender or ReverbRocket (What i play), I just can't dial it in.
So I bid on this GFS Mean 90 on eBay, I ended up winning it for $20. I've heard great things about the mean 90, and I'm a huge fan of p90s. I feel like it could be a good move. I'd have to route my body for the HB sized pup and get a new bridge, but if I can find what I'm looking for, it'll be worth it.
Any suggestions on other Tele bridge pups that would pair well with the GFS Fatbody? Will the mean 90 take away from the pure Tele sound, or does that come from the bridge? I don't necessarily have to stick with GFS, I've just never had any issues so I continue to give them business.
Thanks
