P90 suggestions for a deluxe

g60_dave · 09-22-2010, 12:07 PM

I'm about to grab some p90s for my old deluxe with minis, but I don't know what to get. I'm in uk, and was already to buy bare knuckles, at £140ish a pair, but they are obviously good, but the best? Subjective I know, but any imput would be grateful. What would you put in it? I want it to sound more like my hot strat with Mick brierley pups in it, but don't want to order from oz again. Thanks.

Seymour Duncan Antiquity ?

Lollar overwound P90, they kick ass. Got em' in my 79' Deluxe.

I've never tried any boutique P-90s, but I don't feel the need, either. The Seymour Duncans I have suit me just fine, including an Antiquity.

I really guess it depends on the tone you're looking for.

Seymour Duncan Sp-2

The Seymour duncans are £100 each, but a pair of bare knuckles are £140 a pair, with lollar in between. So the SD. Are more expensive.

Seymour Duncan SP90-1 Vintage Soapbar P-90 (GAK)

The Seymours are £61 each here, though if you can stretch to it, Bare Knuckles are amazing Pickups.

Ah I was looking at wrong SDs. Cost isn't an issue, just want to get 'right ones'.

Gibson P90's are just fine too. They sound awesome in fact.

They're also a bit of a pain in the arse to get hold of in the UK, assuming the OP wants new ones, though I'm sure there's an abundance of guys who've taken then out of their Gibsons and want to sell up. I still think Bare Knuckles are the best Pickups around.
