: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 !!

I have no idea whether a MQ can be fitted in a soapbar route; my guess would be no. But why would you want to do that anyway? 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?

I think it's not so much a case of putting a MQ in a P90 cover, the MQ is already a P90 under a humbucker cover.

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

i think the MQ can be wound to any of the BKP90 specs, so jus depends on how hot you want the pup to be, then have a word with the guys at BKP :D

Yeah, since the MQ is a real P90 then I would just ask for 2 Mississippi Queens in a soapbar stylee!

MQ is a BKP90, just inside a humbucker cover. it's not a different pickup, just a solution to the problem of mounting a P90 in a humbucker cavity.
