Do you favor one pickup (or selector position) over the other(s)? Do you prefer the in-between positions of some guitars over others? I found that I tended to use the neck pickup of my Mustang, the bridge pickup on my CV Duo, and the bridge humbucker on anything with a bridge humbucker. I also tended to use the out-of-phase sound more than the in-phase on my Mustang.


LATE EDIT: Specifying which guitars you use X pickup on is awesome but not vital.

It varies, but for the most part:

Both in series on my Baja Tele.
Neck on my Squier Affinity Tele.
Both on my Jagmaster.

always bridge. apart from when i'm recording and want to thicken something up. my amp settings tend to be quite bassy and if i switch to the neck pickup in a live setting it sounds all muddy and boomy as hell.

Neck. OR Neck+Bridge.

bridge at all times.

Depends on the guitar: neck on my Jazzmaster, usually, and fuzz pedals prefer neck pickups and I use a lot of fuzz. But I've just ordered a Junior, so have some love for the BRRANNG of the bridge too.

neck on the mustang
bridge on the tele
lead on the jag
when I had the sheraton and epi lp it was both the neck

all needed tweaking on the amp and pedals though to make them sound sweet though

90% of the time, bridge.
With a lot of dirt, definitely bridge. Clean, neck a fair amount.

Always the bridge pup. The neck pickup on my Jaguar is muddy as hell and has no clarity. I doubt a change in pickup would remedy this at all.
And i've got no choice with the Esquier.

NECK FOR MOST THANGS

BRIDGE FOR ABRASION

except on my dot, i generally use neck or neck + bridge. i just don't play a lot of shit that sounds good through the bridge. i love the warmth and muddles of most neck stuff.

Usually always Neck pickup.
Both on my Cyclone II. The middle never gets used.

Tele - N+B for strumming
Jaguar - N+B for strumming, Rhythm circuit for fuzz
P-rail'd tele - Bridge 90
Musicmaster -
Strat - kind of a love/hate/fuckinghate relationship with the pickups. N+M for most things, Neck for leads

Bridge. In fact if I get a custom made guitar it won't have a neck pickup.

Both on Duo-Sonic and neck on Blacktop Jazzmaster.

Neck

The Bridge is always too thin for me. I like things to be round and full in my life. Kind of like a pair of D Cups.

if i had a set of d cups in my life, i'd definitely be watching what i eat, and try exercising. then once i got into shape, i'd play the neck pickup only.

GIVE ME YOUR BRONCO THEN!

Neck... Neck plus Bridge on my mustang because the bridge pickup has low output.

Unless the D cups aren't attached to you...still, I'd play the neck pickup only.

I'm a bridge pickup guy . The hotter the better usually . But in melodies I like a cool neck pickup . Most of my guitars are set up with a hot bridge and a cool neck combo .
