Madness Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 How would the p90 tone compare to this tone? I always thought the tone was a bit to "twangy" to be a humbucker, but i could be wrong, im referring to the lead tone http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79C5JZX1-QQ&feature=related Thanks for your input?

TattooedCarrot Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Totally. P90's do a lot more than people think. Check this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lvKjGnApeZE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hbomb76 Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 It should be known that P-90's can do pretty much ANYTHING you can throw at them. Hell man, Tony Iommi's original SG that you hear on the old albums had P-90's in it, as well as a couple of his others (he actually has an Epi signature model fitted with the HB sized P-90's too!). In fact, his signature pickup is ACTUALLY more like a P-90 than a typical humbucker in design, just adding the higher output and hum-cancellation. Use and abuse those P-90's, they can handle it all!

Guitar slinger Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Yes, they can handle that. They just deserve to be used better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lvKjGnApeZE problem with that vid is that the guy used digital modelling from what i remember, and with that, any pickups can pretty much sound like anything;) And do you guys think im way off when i say that i think the tone in the vid is single coil alike?

Thundergod Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 P90s will do that and more... but of course it deppends on the wood and type of body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
