Fender Pickups

    So after a huge amount of putting it off because of low funds I'm buying a new set of single coils for a strat. From what I hear Kinmans (Woodstocks) are the way to go but considering the price and then having to ship them in I was thinking of opting for the new Fender Samarian Cobalt Noisless pups. Can anyone tell me not so much which is better - but the difference in tone between the two? Or even any other alternatives? A good clean tone is more important to me than an overdriven/distorted one.

    Also - I'm putting as S1 switch in the guitar... Not sure if that changes anything in terms of noiseless pups being more relevant because of added hum or anything. Cheers!

    What type of music do you play?

    I have a set of Fender Texas specials in my Strat and they sound really good on cleans/bluesy stuff but aren't great for anything heavy(they do have a good bit of hum though).

    Whoah, old thread. Yeah I have a Strat with Texas Specials... I'm not wild on them to be honest! I settled on Lace Sensor Hot Golds and I'm just waiting on XMusic to get them in for me with the S1 switch. Looks like I could be waiting a while here :mad:

    Yeah I probably would have left it alone if someone else had responded.
    Good luck with the buy

    I had a strat with Texas Specials - I didn't like them at all. Far too middy for a Strat IMHO.

    Each to their own I suppose.
    I think they are great in cleans but once you go for some heavier stuff they really start to lack

    What're people's opinion of the vintage noiseless pickups?
