pickup choice

ferdi

ok so i'm putting new pickups in this squier strat (standard) i'm getting.

which of these combinations would give a better over all tone in your opinion:

bridge: http://www.thomann.de/thoiw6_seymour_duncan_sssl7_quarterpound_singlecoil_prodinfo.html

middle: stock squier

neck:

or

bridge, middle and neck all Fender tex mex single coils: http://www.thomann.de/thoiw6_fender_tex_mex_pu_set_prodinfo.html

due to buget those are my options unless you fine people know where i could refit my crappy squier with some stomping pups for a little over 100euro....

also if anyone has used any of those pickups mentioned above, what were they like??

cheers

Cant say Ive ever used any of those, but, if your after decent budget pickups then Id recommend a fairly unknown brand called gfs. I bought a full set of overwound staggered for a strat for next to nothing and was pleasantly surprised by their sweetness. Very punchy tone and a fantastic blues sound.

I think the only place you can buy them is off an ebay shop called guitarfetish.

Just a thought....

Have a gander at chrisguitars, he always has loads of strat pickup sets for next to nothing

It wasn't me!

Yeah but he'll probably sell them as soon as you try to order them... *muttermutter*

Bill Lawrence (http://www.billlawrence.com/) are some of the best value replacement noiseless sets around for strats i've found, it's down to personal preferance of course but in a fair few peoples eyes they seem to hold their own against the super expensive kinmans/fralins etc.

Only thing is they usually have a lengthy waiting list on them as they produce them on a fairly low scale, you could keep an eye on ebay, a full strat set went for just over 60 quid sterling only 2 days back.

Seymour Duncan's are far cheaper from here, even accouting for tax and shipping: http://www.guitarelectronics.com

I bought a pair of Basslines pickups from them about a year ago.
