Title: HSP-90 Mississippi Queens
Post by: jack.alex on January 19, 2006, 01:01:22 AM

I can't find any product information about these on the BKP website. I found out somehow that they're a p-90 in a humbucker shape, if so, i'd love one to stick in my Les Paul so i don't have to do any routing. if anyone can give me some information that'd be great!

ok, so i just found a previous post on these, good to hear that they will actually fit in a humbucker routing.


second question! can the higher output BKP-92's be made in the MQ style?

Apologies, they can't.There is only so much room in a humbucker size P90(not as much as a stock P90 coil)so we're maxed out at @DC8K.
The Mississippi queen is no sluoch though and can really drive an amp well.

I have an Mississippi Queen - I can assure they have power on tap with lot to spare!  Really awesome pickups - can go from bluesy Keb Mo/Robben Ford to Iommi with ease!

has anyone used for Example: a Nailbomb in the bridge and a Miss Queen HB size p90 in the Neck?

i was wondering if this would be a good combo.

thanks,

I have a Mule bridge and MQ neck and the combo works very well - you get the brighter HB growl in the bridge and the smokey grind of the P90 in the neck - I dont know about a nailbomb, but I have heard people say Warpigs and MQs work well together.

Hi Elliot,

I have a Warpig Bridge and MQ neck in an Explorer copy, and they sound great.  The MQ can hold its own with the Warpig and it also is a great sounding pickup and a good contrast.  I have a Nailbomb in a strat (HSS), and I am sure it will work fine with the MQ.

No - its in an chamber alder body/maple cap, double cutaway Fender Esprit - So the sound is like a alder body Epiphone LP - I love the sound and would really recommend the combination and contrast.

Cheers mate. I reckon i may do that - or just get the calibrated Nailbombs set if it works out cheaper. i like the idea of P90 + HB together.
