What’s the consensus on setting up the smaller 60’s HBs on a Starfire?

I realize there is room for personal preferences but in general…

How close should the poles be to the strings?

Do they like to have the bodies raised with poles set more or less flush with the cover or the other way around ?

Mine is rather farty with fuzz so I’m thinking I need to raise the poles a bit.

What say you??

I have mine set with the pickups pretty high and the poles almost flush, with some tweaking for balance. But I want quite a high output with a bit of dirt to it and that's what i get

parker:

thanks - i'm going to try it that way. my current "lower pickups with higher poles" set up isn't working very well
