Hi guys. I was messing with the pickup height yesterday and I found a pretty good sound. I'll take measurements when I can get to my tools. Just wondering what anyone else has settled with in terms of pickup height

I mess with mine until they sound good. I have no idea how high they are. :)

I've played around and found what sounds good on the bridge and then adjusted the neck to have a similar sounding output. In my case thats's dropping the neck down pretty far in relation to the bridge. Pole pieces are adjusted to keep the stings output balanced.

I basically did the same thing. I dropped the neck pup pretty low as well and had to drop the A pole piece a little. I just wish I could get the bridge a little fatter sounding
