HI got a strat with a SSL-1 in neck wanted to put ssl-1 in mid ,do I have to get RWRP for mid?
thanks Ritchie

you dont have to but if you want the notch position to be humcancelling then you will want the rw/rp version

What bridge position are you using?

I am a big fan of the SD Twangbanger bridge/treble pickup. It happens to be in the wrong relationship to an RP/RW centre pickup. On new installations, I fit Twangbanger, SSL, SSL RP/RW to keep the correct noise-cancelling relationships.

i prefer the sound of strat pickups without the hum cancellation in positions 2 and 4.

For middle ..have a hot rails in bridge and SSl-1 in neck and a duckbucker in mid....I had the duckbucker from a old project but there is a big volume drop off ,and it vol drop kills the ssl-1. in the 4 pos. thought it might work but not happening.I wanted that hendrix'ie strat clean tone aka little wing castles..etc...It 's a Mex Strat ..so original pup's weren't my cup of tea.

Combining a self-noise-cancelling, dual coil pickup such as the Duckbucker with a regular single coil involves three coils. This sets up imbalances of noise-cancellation and the degree of notch filtering. In plain English, there will still be some hum and the "quack" won't sound quite right.

What's special about the Twangbanger that causes it to be backwards from a normal Strat bridge pickup? Does it apply to normal Tele bridge pickups as well?

The reason I ask is, I've been looking for an SSL-1 to use in the neck position of my Telecaster, paired with a STL-1 bridge. I assumed I should get a RWRP "middle" SSL-1 so that the bridge/neck combination would be hum cancelling. Is this correct, or are Tele and Strat bridge pickups naturally backwards from each other?

Took a shot with the duckbucker,got the SSL-1 RWRP .it wasn't happening
