i instaled a neck pickup on bridge position

[Johnny Noir]

(on my parts mustang)
and it sounds great! a lot more warmer.
before i had a wizard, a vintage mustang bridge pickup repro, that sound very good but i always find it a little bit too weak.
i don't know why i tested a japan RI neck pickup on bridge but i lova that sound!
i think i'm gonna do a video, i can compare with my other mustang that has now the wizard pickup.

someone have already done this?

i haven't with a mustang. but i know in the past i would throw whatever i had wherever i needed it.

Yeah, use whatever works.

My mustang has a Lace Sensor Blue in the bridge position, even though it's *usually* fitted in the neck on many guitars, e.g. for strats it's recommended you fit blue in the neck, silver in the middle and red in the bridge. I personally wasn't too impressed with the red at all, but I liked the sound of the silver so fitted that in my mustang's neck position. It turned out that the blue works really well in the bridge, so that's how I've kept it.

i had a red lace sensor in the bridge of my tele(the one that i built for myself ages ago) cuz i thought it would keep up with the p-90 in the neck. NOPE! not a fucking chance.

Don't know about Fender, but vintage Gibson's used to have the same pickups in the neck and in the bridge position. Somewhere on the web it was written that usually at Kalamazoo factory they had a one big bunch of pickups(with an equal resistance) and workers just took them and put into guitars. I believe that only in the 70's manufacturers started to make bridge pickups noticably hotter. Who knows maybe it is a secret of the warm and balanced sound of vintage instruments.

Yeah, '50s PAFs were all the same and they handled it with pickup heights. That's why they and their RIs have those extra tall pickup rings
