Title: P-90's?
Post by: Jedadiah on April 02, 2012, 06:15:15 PM

OK, i'm thinking about replacing the P-90's in my PRS McCarty Soapbar and i'm wondering wether i should go for a Blue Note in the neck and a Nantucket in the bridge?

 I have a Gibson SG Standard and have fitted a Mule in the neck and Riff Raff in the bridge; it gives me a great tone and can get clean or dirty as i wish.

 I suppose i'm looking for a similar situation with the P-90's. I'm wondering whether a pair of Blue Notes would be too clean and not dirty enough and a pair of Natuckets be the reverse.

 I play anything from Blues to Classic/heavy Rock but a little country capability may be nice, no metal though.

 Any ideas chaps?

I don't have them, but according to the specs the Bluenotes would be ideal for country and blues. I don't have experience wit mixing AV and AII-magnets, but I think this combo can work fine. There is not too much output-dfference between the Bluenote- and Nantucket-neck. Interesting how the inbetween-position will sound.

I'd get the nantucket for what you play. P90s usually have great sounding cleans regardless of their output.
Keep in mind that i've never played either though.
I do have a few guitars with higher output P90s though and the cleans are beautiful.
