BKP do humbucker-sized P90s, same specs as the regular P90s I believe - take a look in the gallery forum.

A set you might want to try is a Warpig bridge and Mississippi Queen neck.  I was talking to Tim about this for my Explorer.  The Mississippi Queen is a HB sized P-90, and it sounds great.  Also it has a lot less hum than the regular P-90's (I guess the cover is working like a Faraday box).

I have a few guitars with BKP's and you are welcome to try them too.  At the moment I am waiting for a lot of mine to arrive from England, so I don't have the MM or Mississippi Queen guitars.

One of the most surprising things about the Warpig is that they are beautifull when clean. I posted a clip of it playing Stray Cat Strut. Jazz players love the Warpig. :?  :twisted:

The mississippi queen would probably sound better with the Nailbomb as they are both wound with plain enameled wire.

the warpigs could easily melt the epoxy right out of an 81,but i will tell ya,warpigs are tight!Very versitile ,and they really arn't that dirty.Ive heard other pickups that have lower dc,like 15,and sound dirtyier and way more gainey .piggys have a real tight focused sound.The tone that also comes with the warpig is pure,direct from your guitar.there is no masking with the warpig,and the harmonics are flawlessly super!

The Mule seems to be the pup that covers the most ground while keeping close to the vintage vibe thang.  Tim and HJM have demo'd some slinky bluesy soudns from it, and Tim takes it out with Ozzmosis (whom I am so gonna see if they come up Cambridge way :)) so it'll sure do everything from  jazzy blues to screaming Zakkified metal.

The Nailbomb seems to be a popular "high-gain all rounder", and certainly seems to do a lot of stuff.  I worry that the NB wouldn't be tight enough for what I'm looking for, since it seems very open and one of my primary complaints with my stock Gibsons is that I wish they had better a bit better definition at high gain.  On the other hand, I really want a pickup that cleans up well (I like pummeling power chords and then jumping to a clean tone that goes shiiiiiinnnngggg! :)) and though it seems the ceramics are surely tighter at high gain, the Alnicos seems to clean up better ....

Considering what a beast the Warpig is, it actually seems surprisingly versatile too, though I worry that it's output might be too much (blasphemy, I know ;)) ....  But I'm really interested to hear more of the new models coming out.  Don't suppose that the manufacturer would like to leak any hints about the Abraxas?  :D
