Welcome

 

Gibson makes a P90 that fits in a humbucker route - the P-94 - http://www.musiciansfriend.com/accessories/gibson-p94r-neck-pickup

 

And yes, B5

Thanks

I like the sound/tone options with a neck 90. Some don't like the look of the 94s. There are other makers like BG - http://www.bg-pups.com/h90.html

 

So you get a look at the 94 - here's my LP with the neck 94 -

no matter how it looks first of all i need nice jazzy sound)

and your les paul looks pretty nice!

i only wonder if there any problems with delivery from ebay or something else, `cause i don`t think that some of them are sold in Odessa

It's not so hot and has crystal clear cleans so it's great for Jazz and for clean passages in metal music. The flip side is that its not a PAF style pickup so is not as good as something like the Seymour Duncan '59 for bluesy type stuff, although you won't get any muddiness. Check out my youtube vid below to hear it vs. an Epi neck pickup.

P-94 in the neck position is very nice. It can be jazzy with some tone knob twirling. On my SG it gets a Jazzmaster like tone with the volume and tone knobs wide open:

I have this exact same mod (neck P94) pending for my Desertburst '03 Studio Plus. Will get to it one of these days. The SD Phat Cat is also well regarded. Either of these options should get the OP closer to a jazz tone, and of course amp/speaker combinations are a major factor.

I have the jazz pickup in the bridge of my paul, and I love it. Great clean tones. I also have a Seymour Duncan Phat Cat in the bridge position of my SG, and I'm happy with it as well. I'm obviously no expert, I mostly play heavy stuff but the Phat Cat is something to consider if you want a P-90 sound. Also, why not just buy an SG already fitted with soapbars, if thats what you want?
