Title: MQ question
Post by: jt on November 25, 2006, 10:13:44 PM: :D OK guys just a quickie.....

I`ve just taken delivery of a New guitar. It`s a JJ Jewel. Its fitted with 2 P90 Soapbars.

My Question is can Tim & the guys do the MQ in a standard Soapbar & not a HB size ? I would think so but i dont actually no so can someone confirm it for me.

Cheers guys !!

A MQ is meant to emulate the sound of a P90, but you have the real thing. Why not try a different P90 if you want a different type of sound?

Looking at the specs, I reckon the MQ is pretty much identical to a BKP-91.
