Hi I’ve had my new Bernie for a couple of weeks now great guitar love it
The pickups I’m on a fence with
I do like them for what they are
First off my rig because it all adds to tone
Blackstar ht20 mark 1 head
2 number 112 cabs with cannabis Rex in both
I use the isf on the amp fully to right on marshal side with the bearnie
Amp master always dimed always on drive channel at the edge of breakup say 10 o’clock using channel volume as overall volume if you know what I mean
Pedals with bearnie
Fultone ocd for adding more gain on top off breakup
I’m not sure what mags are in my 2016 bearnie but it sounds very modern sort of nickleback,limp biskuit type sound with my gear
I had a Gibson goldtop studio 2013
Most disappointing guitar I’ve ever had but after I did a mag swap from standard which were those Gibson 490 thingies can’t remember fully
I used many variations and liked best a A4 in the neck and a used a unorientated A5 the sound was so much better and balanced between the pickups creamier
The stuff my band plays because we’re old duffers
Early zz top
Black crows
Allman bros
Free
Marcus king
Warren haynes
Neil young
The bearnie pups full on are to my ear Modern
Should I try what worked in the Gibson
Or any suggestions
