Have been trying for a while to get a good clean funky tone, tried lots of commercial profiles. None of them seemed to get me where I wanted to be.
The answer was staring me in the face the whole time.
Lowering the pickups made the sound exactly as I wanted.
I set them a lot lower than the spec called for
and the difference in tone was amazing, not just for the funky clean, but all of them.
Happy at last.
