Pups - what's your favorite flavor?

[Doctor Intrepid]

What about dual humbucker? They are not MM, since MM are active.

Anyway, dual humbucker.

 

[Pilgrim]

TV Jones 'Trons, or Gretsch humbuckers or Filtertrons. I pretty much like them all.

Wait - this isn't a ethnic cooking thread?

Right now, I would do a P/MM. The MM right in it's sweet spot, the P smooshed right up on it. Add a solid 3 band active EQ and blend knob with a series/parallel switch on the P and go go go!

 

[Jason42]

Dachshund.

Oh, wait

 

[BobKos]

Dual soapbars. As in Nordstrand Big Splits. For me best pup ever!

 

[Magthegrate]

Two G&L MFD Humbuckers ala my L2K. Why mess with a good thing?

So a Sandberg with a 3 band EQ? What else currently offers you that rather delicious option?

That's a beautiful Eagle!! Here's my 76' "bodine"

I voted "other" as dual humbucker is my favorite setup! "HI-A's"(early Bartolini) in this and my "Shorthorn" Mock. Dual P's a close 2nd though...

I'm sure they sound great too, but the neck pickup at right is aesthetic as heck

The Reverend Split Brick sounds even better than it looks...and it looks great!

Yep, love the ThunderBlades too. Also, a fan of SD single stacks.

Scpb, Fidelitron, Lipstick, Gold Foil, Kay speed bump, Dark Star.

Proto Guitars MM/J

I do well with a Jazz setup.

Some pickups are closely matched to a unique preamp and have to be taken as an integral pair to work their magic. So if that's allowed, I’d have to vote for Wal’s multicoil pickup and preamp combination. I don’t believe there's a direct equivalent for it anywhere else.

I'm very happy with my dual soapbars and piezo (I don't use the piezo much live, but it's a cool feature in the studio)

Bit of (hopefully!) interesting fun for this weekend:

So you're allowed just one bass to keep. What pup set up would it have?

A pair of sidewinder humbuckers. Here's the obligatory picture:

What could all those switches possibly do to two P pickups?

 

[2112]

Dual Wal 8-pole humbuckers.

 

[LowActionHero]

I dig my G&L pickups in my L2000
