Hi all,
Hopefully someone might have some experience here that can help me.
I bought a T386 back in July 2022, and I have played it almosr exclusively since then. My Gibson ES135 and Strats and Teles have all taken a back seat.
I love the neck, the look, the ebony fretboard, the frets... well I just love it
Anyhow, the only issue I have is when I use it with my BLues Cube Stage. Basically it flubs out, I tend to use the neck pickup for 80% of what I play, and it is soooo muddy and flubby. It's not so bad if I grab my little Pro Junor to run it through, but still a bit.
It has the original Kent Armstrong pickups in, and I measured them to approx 8.6 neck and 8.58 bridge, so I am wondering if a nice set of lower output, better quality pickups might be the answer.
So, what recommendations do folk have, I have looked at Lollar Imperials, Seth Lovers, Antiquities etc... they all seem slightly lower output, not massively, but slightly.
Any help appreciated.
Cheers
Johnny
