Title: Is it possible..
Post by: _tom_ on May 09, 2006, 12:10:46 AM
To get a black cover for a MQ? I really am tempted by one for the neck slot on my LP but in the shop it says they dont come with black covers.. Is there a standard size for hum-size P90's, so I could maybe order one from somewhere, then send to bareknuckle to get put on an MQ?

Cheers

email/talk to Tim Tom, he is a whizz and very accomodating.
just cos it aint mentioned don't mean squat :)

I want Burnt Chrome Covers but they are not mentioned in the shop at all.

Yes, any finishes available on humbuckers are also available on MQ's

Yeah just got the reply back from Tim aswell, this is great news  :D Just gotta get my neck mule sold now I guess before I can place an order. Oh and which black do I have? Its not shiny, but not "dull".. its like a slightly shiny satin but not gloss black!

Another Q. Whats the difference between the Manhattan and the MQ?

Cheers

As I understand it the manhattan is a jazz orientated Alnico III P90 with slightly different styling (look at the picture) whereas the MQ is more rock.  The Alnico IV neck MQ is awesome in its tone - it goes from BB King to Lesley West easily and works with a bridge Mule really well.
