epi-curious Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 My last pickup swap for a LONG time. I'm getting a pair of Mean 90s from GFS that I'm putting in a 66 reissue G400. That will give me a G400 with the P90s, a G400 with the Alnico II toneriders, and a Gibson SG special with stock Alnico II pickups. That should hold me for a good long while. Oh - and I have 2 Epiphone LP jrs with P90s. NO MORE GUITARS! I SWEAR! . . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladyscaglyc Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 You'll love those Mean90s. If you get to really want a mix, try a neckP90 with a bridgeHBer. Mine's in a hollow but I can just imagine the growl out of a solid! Congrats again on the GFS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine's in a hollow but I can just imagine the growl out of a solid! Congrats again on the GFS. I'm looking forward to getting them. I'm just north of GFS by about an hour and a half; usually get 2 day service so they should be here tomorrow. I'll get them in tomorrow night. Hopefully, since they're two-wire pickups as opposed to 4-5, they'll be easier to get through the hole than the toneriders I wrote about last week! (but they sound great!)

Whitmore Willy Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Epi-curious, It's been over a year since I installed Mean 90's. If my memory serves me, they come with 3 wires. (North, South, and case ground). Simple install but....take a good look at the directions. Jay explains that if they sound week or "thin" in the center position then you just need to reverse a couple of the wires at the pots. If you can, you might want to just tape or temp the connections and then try them out before soldering. Other than that they were an easy install and sound great. Enjoy.

AnthemBassMan Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 -All I can say is that I love my Mean 90 neck p'up. And the Mean 90 neck/bridge 'bucker combo is killer that still sounds great when the switch is in the middle spot. Mine is just as quiet as the DiMarzio bucker I have in the bridge. And it cleans up great when rolling back the volume. I can really work the volume to go from clean to overdrive without changing the amp volume. You should be happy with the Mean 90.
