bridge vs. neck PU

[MadDogMadsen]

Hi

A quick on from Denmark....
I´m looking for a PU for my Japan Custum Strat (only 1 Humbucker, in bridge pos.)
I normaly like to play with the PU switch in midle pos. on my other guitars.
To get a fat warm sound i thinkin about using a neck PU in the Bridge Pos.?
Is that a good idea?

welcome to the forum!

the reason neck pups sound warm and fat is due to their physical position, not the pup itself. a neck pup is typically brighter and lower output than its bridge counterpart so putting a neck pup in the bridge of your guitar will not do what you want it to.

to get a fat warm sound youll want a fat warm toned bridge pup

The other obvious thing to do is make use of the guitar's tone pot (if it has one).

Thank you!
No tone pot ;-)
What pick up would you recommend?
I play blues and old rock.
Looking for a warm vintage sound...
Like i sayd, as a Strat (or LP) in middle pos.
