1. bridge pickup: either an articulate and relatively bright-sounding (especially on the low strings) dual-rail humbucker, or a *beefy noiseless single coil (which would mean switching back to a 250k volume pot).
2. neck pickup: if i keep the 500k volume pot, i'll have to replace that overly bright fender p90 with a darker sounding p90, or a relatively bright mini-humbucker.
* at this point, having done a bit of research, i am thinking that going back to a 250k pot and putting a beefy noiseless single coil in the bridge is the way to go. from what i have been reading, humbuckers are just too dark and muddy, and contrast too starkly with my other single coil instruments.
any suggestions?
