Hi all,
Does anyone have any experience with Fender Fat 50's pickups? Any opinions?

I guess Martyn's must already have had a pickup change. The Tex Mex pickups were a bit more high-gain than we are used to & didn't give a satisfactory Shads tone to my way of thinking. I changed mine to C.S.'54s & it made all the difference. I haven't tried Fat '50s pickups yet, but I would guess they are probably higher gain than the vintage-style pickups we need. I believe they are aimed at the 'Blues' players markets, & I would guess are excellent pickups for that genre.
