seth lover neck in bridge position

[davesowden]

anyone tried a Seth Lover neck in the bridge position of a Les Paul? I recently bought a Gibson LP Studio faded and love the guitar but cannot get away with the BB pro in the bridge- despite an excellent set up and alot of adjustments i find it thin,harsh and lacking in warmth for my tastes-buying the guitar has eaten up all my funds for a while so i,m looking in the parts drawer for cheap solutions! I have a Seth lover neck pickup going unused - i already have a set of Seths in a Tokai gold top and love them so was wondering what the neck pup i have gathering dust might sound like in that bridge?

Throw it in. It will likely sound really good. On the low output end of the PAF spectrum.

I'd expect it to sound a little bright, but that may suit the guitar. Give it a try and see what you think.

Expect something similar, thin and bright. Its not too dissimilar in nature to a t-top, and lot of people couldn't get on with those.

The Seth will be slightly smoother but probably tinny and anemic sounding for a bridge p'up. Not a viable solution... heck, no solution at all!

The cheapest (and the best, if you ask me) solution will be to magnet swap those BBPros.

I've had great results with the following mag combos:

A3 neck /UOA5 bridge, UOA5 neck /UOA5 bridge, A4 neck/A8 bridge.

There's your solution. Cheap and simple.
