Can you put P90s in a humbucker slot?
No, you’d have to get a humbucker-sized P90, like the Seymour Duncan SPH90 Phat Cat. ^I’d let a pro look at it. Once you get into the technicalities of screws…well, it’s just a place you don’t want to be, friend. ^ AKA a P-94.
Are P90s louder than humbuckers?
Humbucker pickups produce a warmer and louder sound compared to single coil and P90 pickups. The double magnet design allows them to reduce the level of feedback produced, making them more suitable for heavy rock and metal compared to the one magnet design of single coils and P90’s.
Are 500k pots louder than 250k?
The rule is: Using higher value pots (500K) will give the guitar a brighter sound and lower value pots (250K) will give the guitar a slightly warmer sound. This is because higher value pots put less of a load on the pickups which prevents treble frequencies from “bleeding” to ground through the pot and being lost.
What pots should be used with P90 pickups?
For humbucker pickups and P90 pickups, we recommend 500K audio taper pots. For standard single coil pickups, like those on Stratocaster or Telecaster electric guitars, we recommend 250K audio taper pots. For single coil sized humbuckers, like our Little 59, Red Devil or JB, jr, and Rail pickups, we recommend 250K pots.
Would a P90 be cool in a Strat?
I’ve always thought a p90 could be cool in a strat. I finally got offered a gibson p94r- a humbucker sized p90 made for the neck position in the gibson set- so its a little less output than the bridge, but I had to modify the mounting legs as they were super duper long.
What’s the difference between a Strat bridge and a P90 pickup?
These pickups get me in the P90 ballpark without the excessive bottom end of a P90 neck, while the bridge is fat and thick; avoids the craziness we typically associate with strat bridge pickups.
Can I put a P90 in a single coiled pickup?
a P90 in single coiled sized pickup just won’t sound like a full P90s. What you gain, you will loose any stratiness… Plus it doesn’t blend well with the other strat pickups.. I’ve had success with the Harmonic design super 90. you will need a tone control for it. but it’s NOT a p90, nor a humbucker. I ended up taking it out of my strat…
What pickups go well with a paralell P90?
It really blends well with the strat pickups- i really like the neck and p90 bridge in paralell combo (and its hum cancelling if you can get your strat pickups to be the opposite polarity of the p90 with the deaf eddie chromacaster you can have TONS of hum cancelling positions)
