Not blasphemy... truth. Those pickups are some of the best shit to come from Gibsons pickup dept, IMO. Lotsa balls, clarity, sustain, etc.stump wrote:It may be blasphemy but the Gibson 490R sounds excellent in my LP.
Not exactly what I'd call a PAF... it seems to have a little more of everything: output, bottom, top, mids. Not enough to be annoying, but enough to make it one hell of a punchy bastard.
That 498T for the bridge is SOOPA monsta killer. Beats the shit out of 57 classics, burstbuckers, etc, as long as a PAF is not expected. Much more of everything with that pickup. It pushes a meek amp right into the fight, no prob.
