neck HSP90 for a LP studio... pig90 or stockholm?

[dheim]

well, the subject already says everything!
i'm curious if anyone has tried both (or at least the Stockholm)... what's bassier? i love bright neck pickups, and of course i know i'd better get a regular MQ, but i want something hotter this time...

I was impressed by the Stockholm-clips. You'd better ask Nolly, he played them and he likes them much.

The Pig '90 has significantly more low end than the Stockholm, so out of the two I would suggest that. However, an option to consider would be to ask for a Supermassive neck in HS size - it'd a great halfway between the MQ and the Stockholm.
Alternatively, a Nantucket neck wind gives a brighter and more percussive neck sound than the MQ, courtesy of the AV magnet.

Parabellum Bridge. Super massive neck :D

two neck pickups i'm really curious about are the VHII and the Riff Raff.
of course they go far beyond my original idea of a 2 p90s guitar, but they could be an interesting alternative to have a bright and definite neck tone... what do you think?

[Nolly]

Sure, the Riff Raff neck is definitely a very defined and bright pickup.
Funnily enough I don't think of the VHII particularly as a bright neck pickup - to me the actual body of the tone it produces is quite smooth and flutey, but it does have a snappy attack that gives it the great definition.
