pickups bro

[madmax1012]

so i've got an American Fender HSS strat with a duncan JB humbucker in the bridge. sounds pretty good. but it's not a motherfuckin P-90. so basically, what are some good humbucker-sized P-90's i can throw in there? also,might consider some decent replacements for the single coils.

and i'm kinda curious what everyone's playing through when it comes to their pickups

Phat Cats are okay... the Gibson P94 is pretty good, but its kind of a bit darker than I'd expect a P90 to be, there's also the Bare Knuckle Stockholm, but its fairly high-output so it depends what you're after. If you want classic, there's the Bare Knuckle Mississippi Queen which is literally an actual P90 made to fit inside a humbucker casing... I am kind of bias towards Bare Knuckle but they make some really great stuff

Frain P92, Twangmaster or the Unbucker.

for cheap P90esque pickups in a humbucker form factor, people seem to be really happy with the GFS Dream 90/Dream 100 pickups. i know someone who uses them, and they sound fine to me.

for single-coil Strat pickups, i haven't heard anything i like better than the Fender Custom Shop '54 and '68 reissue pickups. but then, i like to use more "traditional" clean Strat sounds and use pedals/amp gain for da dirtz.

ive never had the pleasure, but BG Pure-90s are suppose to be awesome. i think they might be ACTUALY P-90s shaved down to fit into a humbucker case. someone had a set on TGP last week for a good price.

Cheap: gfs mean 90. I've got one in a strat right now, very trashy and bright

'spensive (but worth it): BKP mississipi queen. If you want a firebreather get the pig90 (an MQ wound like a warpig)
