Sure, what is it you'd like to know that isn't covered by the product page and sound clips?

ev1ltwin: I know what you're saying, but at the same time perhaps in this case it'd be good to get some more publicly available info on the Supermassives, since they're relatively unspoken of.

[ev1ltwin]

Information about the supermassives is great, but making a thread titled "ATTN: NOLLY" (no mention of pickup) where the post is asking one user (Nolly) about pickup information seems like it's not in the spirit of the forum. Maybe I'm just doing it wrong.

[Nolly]

Aye, I get you. It'll be up to the moderators to decide how to proceed.

i did this because, just as nolly said, the pickup is not frequently discussed and im sure there are more out there that could benefit from the knowledge in the thread. i digress.  

my sg classic has a p91 (aIV) in the bridge and i find it a little too smooth, vintage and "kind" sounding. the output lacks a little too. im thinking a supermassive will cure this but i am worried that it will lose alittle of the traditional p90 flavor. does it sound like a hot p90 with more low end? the constant using of the term "progressive" in the description worries me a little as does the whole "sg's dont do well with medium output pickups" thing.  


let me know what you think and thank you for your time.

[Nolly]

I wouldn't worry about at all about losing the P90 character, and I would have no issues whatsoever with putting one in an SG. The Supermassive is still very much a P90, just with a strong and snarly midrange and more bottom end than a traditional design, while the high end has a smoother roll off.
It's a great pickup, very versatile indeed. I'm sure there will be some more conventional clips done in the future, and I'm keen to hear any users' opinions on them (and the Stockholms too for that matter).

dude,

the Supermassive and Stockholm are for that hard alt-rock sound ala Muse, easily BKP's biggest inadvertent advertiser!
