Ok, so I rewired everthing from scratch and mucked around with the pickup heights.

Big improvement.

First of all I should appologise to Wolfe. As one poster said you can't just throw in "some" pickups, expect them just to work and then make flippant comments. I will accept that. However I really did spend quite a bit of time adjusting things with little improvement.

Although I did check my original wiring job there must have been a bad connection somwhere. My main problem was as I've said it was as if they were an 8 cylinder car only running on 4. Whatever I did improved this in a big way. The bridge has good shove and the bottom end improved significantly. Much much better.

Now although these improved in a big way they still aren't quite what I am after. The bridge pickups is fantastic, really. I think I am mainly just accustom to a hotter pickup in the bridge that hits the front of the amp with more attitude. The bridge pickup is close though, really close. The neck although again much better just isn't what I'm after. You may think I'm an idiot but I do really like the Seymour Duncan 59. As I have also said if I could could just tame the top end a fraction and add some mids it would be perfect.

I will say lastly that this has been a really good learning experience for me and I really appreciate the help I have recieved. Thanks.

I will still highly recommend the Marshallhead pickups to anyone looking for a rock/hard rock pickup. They are really, really good. They just weren't quite the flavour I was after.
