Which HB sized p90

Post by kpunk56 » Sat Jan 09, 2016 9:02 pm

I have a 71 Les paul custom. It currently has a GFS veh humbucker. I have really come to love p90's over the years. I am thinking of putting in a humbucker sized p90. What suggestions or experience with them do you all have. What would you suggest, Duncan phat cat, Bare knuckles mississippi queen, GFS Mean 90 and tonerider Rebel 90... are the ones that I have been reading up on. Share any thoughts.

Style that I play is like classic rock/punk. new york dolls, stooges, dead boys, gnr, Ac/dc that sorta thing.

I have no experience with any of those pickups but I'd possibly add the Seymour Duncan P-Rails to the list. You would probably get a wider range of sounds.

Check axesrus.co.uk the guy is developping his own pickups at very low proces. I've a pair of HB sized P90 from them, and they are great.

Its definitely one that I have been checking out. My only qualms with Bare knuckles is price and they come from UK so therefore shipping will cost alot coming to the usa. So thats why I am trying to research and weigh options. If I feel that nothing is going to touch the Bare Knuckles, then it will be the one..
