Title: humbucker p90s
Post by: oceansandatlantic on May 05, 2015, 08:23:34 PM

I'm looking to fill my guitars bridge slot with a humbucking sized p90.
I'm thinking Mississippi queen/stockholm/supermassive

music along that sort.. but also able to clean up well.
going into a fender 72 deluxe reissue I have phat cats in now I live but they leave a little to be desired

Listened the clip. I would go Supermassive/Stockholm here.

I agree.  I would most likely go for the Supermassive here.  It will give you the tones you want and will clean up better than the Stockholm.  To me this doesn't sound like it needs the high output of the Stockholm, but it definitely needs the more modern Supermassive/Stockolm tone (compared to the MQ/Nantucket).

Thats actually what I was thinking too. I think i liked them best in the clips. Would the supermassive be able to handle a little heavier music than that as well? I don't play any thrash metal or anything but I venture into breakdowns and stuff sometimes... thanks guys

If you are going for heavier styles you might want to consider a Stockholm/Supermassive combination.  The Stockholm bridge can definitely do heavy stuff very well
