When I first started playing ......Jesus ...30 YEARS AGO...my pickup selector switch never left the bridge position. I thought that there just was no need. The tone from any other position just wasn't as "heavy" or as clear cutting as the bridge and therefore I didn't like or need it.
It took a LONG time for me to really begin to appreciate the tones from the neck and middle pickups. A really long time. But.....now that I've "grown up" ...I've found that I use all the pickups and that in a lot of situations, I like the meatiness/creaminess that the other two provide that the bridge just doesn't have. I wonder why the hell I was so stubborn on the subject.
So my question is:
Who feels that the bridge pickup is KING and that any other pickup on a guitar is just a waste of routed wood, or who feels that any pickup position on a guitar is worth it's weight in gold?
Me......I definitely fall into the latter category. I'd have to offload any guitar now if it was bridge pickup only like say a Charvel Model 5A. GREAT fucking guitar, but not for me anymore.
