Hey all, a bassist here, from Basschat, who's dabbling in a bit of guitar. Been playing bass since I was a kid, and only recently decided to get off my butt and learn the six string variety. Lets say its work in progress..

I'm building a HSS Strat, swamp ash body, maple/maple neck, vintage tremolo.

Any pickup suggestions? I play mainly classic hard rock, I'm more of a Les Paul guy than a shredder.

I know its the balance between tone and output, and i'm leaning heavily towards tone. I have looked at the Seymour Duncan Pearly Gates with regular single coils, toyed with the idea of something like a JB with high powered singles.

All ideas and suggestions welcomed. Thanks! :)
