Just teasing you a bit. No bad blood here.

I would stick to Nantuckets in this case.
Mules, VHII, Crawler, MM's, IT's, BG50's.

And you're absolutely right to tease me, it's well deserved!

To be totally transparent, I continued my research yesterday and I wrote a nonsense in my previous message.

According to Paul Balmer's book devoted to the SG, Tony's first SG, called "Monkey", fitted w/ a Gibson P90 in bridge position and a custom wound John Birch Simplux in the neck position.
The JayDee Custom w/ JayDee special bridge and John Birch style Magnum X in John Birch casing, was born in 1975.

Does anyone know more about the P90s that fitted the SG "Monkey"?
I also think that a P90 typed '60 is needed but it is also necessary that it has a sufficient output level both neck and bridge.

Thank You All & Love From France

The Nantuckets are supposed to recreate tones from that era. The BKP-sets are composed after intensive R&D and should be balanced.

Right. So, a Nantucket-bridge then.

For you, what is the best P90 produced by BKP or if you still have doubts, the two P90 that you consider to be the best of BKP.

In advance thank you all for your participation !

That is so personal. I like vintage(hot)pickups like the Nantucket, but anyone who is into music like Muse will tell you Supermassive. I like the clear jazzy tone of the Manhattan too.
