Figured I would share a recent experience in case other members are going through similar issues. For decades I have always gone with high output pickups and honestly never gave it much thought. I play mostly old school hard rock/metal. Now I have posted in the past about issues with getting tones to sit in a mix and just a general inability to get a good sound. I was using a guitar with a PRS vintage bass and HFS pickup set. So after much research I figured that I would give a low output set a try. I switched over to a set of Dimarzio Air Classics and the results have left me amazed. So many presets that I would just pass over now sound fantastic. I even tried a a quick little 30 second demo and things just fit the way they should in the mix. Not sure if others are going through this type of thing but a set of low output pickups was a total game-changer for me. I think that the high output pickups just compressed the signal too much while the Air Classic are just the opposite.
