Mississppi Queen as a lonely V bridge?
« on: January 28, 2013, 04:40:38 PM »
Has anyone ever tried just using a Mississippi Queen in a V?

I had the idea for a Ash V and using an MQ bridge as the lone pickup.

I suppose I could just use a Mule/Emerald/Stormy Monday if need be but I have this crippling curiosity that a MQ might be pretty decent.

Anyone have any thoughts on this?

I have no experience with V's, but the MQ performs very well in ash and a lot of other timbers. Cleans up good too, and has enough muscle and beef thanks to the big coil.
Mules, VHII, Crawler, MM's, IT's, BG50's.

I don't really know about the ash factor, but nothing wrong with a P-90 in a V - you're basically turning it into a Junior!

BKPs I've Got:  RR, BKP-91, ITs, VHII, CS set, Emeralds
BKPs I Had:  RY+Abraxas, Crawlers, BD+SM

P90's in ash tele's kill. Ash has some percussiviness to my ears, but if you have good timbers, also good mids and bass. I have an ash strat and swampashstrat which have a full midrange (for a strat), especially the swampash one. The P90 adds mids too that.

Yup, that is the plan :P . I've just never had any experience with the MQ pickups to know if the bridge is fine on it's own [as the V in question is bridge only]. I can't see why not but I've heard crazier things. I play mostly Rock so I would think the bridge MQ would be good clean and though gain.
