Ss 10

Post by Matteo Strazzolini »

Hi. My Carter SD10 has a George L's SS10. It's really powerful, but I hear that cranks a little my Peavey Special 130, also on low input. What do you think about this pickup? Should be a good idea to change it with another one? What sould be a nice substitute? Ciao, Matteo

I have an SS on my Carter. Try lowering the pickups two quarters from string, maybe a bit more. It cleans them up nice. That was the standard pickup installed on Carters and I like them better than 66 or 10-1.They are all dead quiet as you would expect.

I really like the SS-10 pickups. I tried many different pickups and I settled for the SS-10's on my GFI. If you're getting a bit too much out of the pickup try the 10-1. It's the same pickup only the SS-10 is made with stainless steel blades, thus the SS. The 10-1 has great tone and range but smoother than the SS-10.
