I am learning how amazingly versatile the tele bridge pickup is with the manipulation of the volume and tone controls. So much you can do with that bridge pickup. The bridge pickup on my strat is so shrill and I rarely use it. I think the tone knob makes a huge difference too.
Agree - I get thick, articulate deep bass with both pickups engaged on my tele, with an expansive tonal range up through the trebles - surprising for a solid body electric guitar because it isn’t thin at all - then with the bridge pickup only & using the tone control there is a midrange expansion at certain levels. For those who have wired their SSS Stratocasters with tone control on the bridge, it still isn’t full sounding as the Tele due to the latter’s beefier construction of the pickup encased by the bridge plate - all this is apparent at lower volume levels too.
