You had a go with my Tokai Les Paul Special with the BKP-92 in the bridge and that was to your taste ! The one with ssssssssssssssuuuuuuuuuuusssssssssssssssssttttttttttttttttttttaaaaaaaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn !!

I had problems with it initially as the volume was very lowcompared to the neck pickup. After raising the pickup in the cavity and also the polepieces I finally got the match. I have to turn the tone down on it

What value pots have you got - the higher the value the more treble you will get - should be 500K

I've put a hybrid P90 in a Tele at the bridge - This certainly gives power to the people !!!!

Cheers Chris, I remember your guitar  ;)

You've got a P-92 though, the MQ is a P-90.  I think I'm using too much gain with it and I reckon it'd sound much better a bit cleaner.  I'm going to try it through a Klipp tonight with my DOD 250 overdrive.

Hope you find the tones that's in your head Dave

The BKP92 should have less hi's than the MQ which is why I think the pots may be the problem. Are yours 300k not 500k ?

[Twinfan]

Not sure - they're regular Gordon Smith pots.  I'm pretty sure they're 500k as the GS you now have with a Mule and standard pots sounded great!

No, it was aimed at Twinfan (well, in sarcasm terms it was aimed at myself - I've been known to buy then sell guitars without ever having changed the strings....).

But if the cap fits, Dave...  :lol:
