I

them!!!

I've always been curious about those things. What would you say the tonal differences are as compared to the humbuckers that were in there?

[chubs]

Cleaner, more sparkle, more punch and twang. Sound more nazaly to me (all of which I like alot...)

Opened up the sound for me. This LP will break through the mix easily. Made me want to turn down the gain ( well actualy made me turn up the PPIMV and the bright channel volume down). Made me want to play with a cleaner sound....and really dig in for some grit... as opposed to preamp distortion.

I got these not knowing to expect and it was like taking a blanket off the speaker cab.

NOTE: I have not jammed or gigged with these yet. and that for me is the ultimate test of any gear... which often finds it's way to ebay the day after a rehersal...

But I love the sound right now.

Hmm, I'm curious now too.
Where'd you get 'em Chubs? And what are they?

[chubs]

They are inexpensive GFS pickups... They look like a good quality built pickup. And I am digging the sound!!

Those GFS pickups have a great reputation over in ProjectGuitar forum. A lot of people love 'em. Nice to hear from another happy customer. The price is right for a Chinese pickup.

Cool. P-90s sound like the evil love child of a humbucker (balls) and a single-coil (clarity). Just awesome.

I have a wholesale account with WD Music Products---have used their HB-sized P90s on a few projects. I love 'em. I imagine they're comparable to GFS' pickups in quality and sound.

I concur with fivecoyote, they're the best of both worlds. If you actually USE your tone pots, you can get it all!

I installed some Kent Armstrong hum-sized P-90's in mt LP a few years ago, and have never looked back. The KA pups from WD Music aren't high on the corksniffer list, but they sound darn nice.

I have the "hot" bridge and the "vintage " neck pups. They are a good match

Yes, exactly the pickups I was referring to. Got a pair set aside for a Bastardocaster I plan to build up with a sugar pine Strat body and a 4-way Tele switch. Should be a cool guitar!
