The Cruiser Bridge DP187 If youre a serious traditional Strat player, you probably wont want to know about pickups with side-by-side coils. But if youre the player whos up for something more modern with no 60-cycle hum,string drop-outs or sustain-killing magnet pull, we designed The Cruiser for you. Harmonic overtones are right where you expect them to be from a true single-coil, and the mid-range is open and vocal-sounding. Its hotter than the traditional single-coil, and the bass strings have a bit more chunk this is an excellent pickup to combine with medium-output humbuckers, and it maintains its tonalidentity with high-gain amps and multiple effects. Recommended For All positions. Bridge position with lower output models in neck and middle, or neck and middle position with a higher output bridge pickup or full-size humbucker. Tech Talk The obvious question about The Cruiser is How does it compare to a single-coil sound? Our feeling is that the unwound strings E, B, and G are very close, and the wound strings D, A, and low E are fatter-sounding than a true single-coil. Theres also a midrange scoop thats uniqueto the Cruiser Bridge. This is really effective for getting big-sounding chords, because high and low strings sound more spread out from each other. Having a total magnet pull thats about 40% less than standard single-coils also means The Cruiser can be adjusted much closer to the strings for more power than stock pickups can achieve.
