Buckers vs mini-buckers vs P90s

min buckers, meh, never liked them they make the guitar look like ass.... plus they have too much trebble if you ask me. Full size or P-90's anyday to those things...

Mini and P90s were nice as when they were removed they left nice holes which made routing the body for Super Distortions easier.

I traded in my Deluxe for a new amp and a MIJ Les Paul. The minis just were not cool enough back then, but now I’d love to have them. I wonder if I could get one to fit in the bridge slot of my Special.

Mini Humbuckers are way under rated.

P-90s rule.

Full sized humbuckers are overkill most of the time.

P-90s and minis work best with killer fuzz. (<---been playing my JHS Supreme lately ).

I was just watching this video on Rick's channel.


P-90s ALL THE WAY BABY!!

All three- P90's CLEAN are sweet-minis very articulate-buckers almost bore me now-done to DEATH-let me guess creamy mids?

Minis and P90s are da cheeze.

each is unique and you have to approach them differently. From an electronics POV I don't believe one is actually better than the other. You apply them differently and each has its own merits.

l was OBSESSED with P90's last year-Reverend Asheton V has THREE! Plus my Mascis Jazz has such beefy tones. Very complex pickups- can do "almost" anything.

Love me some P90s.

Before.

After.

You people left out my favorites....actives.

EMG85/60
EMG P81/P60....P60 is a great pickup

I love active pickups. It's funny how people share uninformed opinions about them, boldly.

Yep....both of the guitars I posted sound very different and both very good....

I really do enjoy the EMG P-Series in my Tribute quite alot.....

Surprisingly I think that I liked the mini humbuckers best in that video! Tight and bright and aggressive, wow.

Tight and bright and aggressive, wow.

Kinda how I like my women!

 

[Tim Fezziwig]

EVERYBODY wants BIG tones- I get tired of that-often I like the little tones that could. Plus- a thing called songcraft-don't mean a thing if it doesn't have the swing.

I’d love to try some mini hums. I’m a p90 addict

I think it has to do with the narrower field of the pickup, hums are often set too close to the strings and sound like flatulence.

m, they have "shades" of P90-This man had THE TONE-not beefy enough? Yeah, right.

Didn't one hit you with a car? Twice?

You need to quit trolling for dates outside farking Shady Rest... Damn....

 

[ehb]

My Goldie with minis can spank with best of em... Snappy like p90s but quieter...

A bud has an old wine Deluxe Pro with P90s all stock I'd kill for...
