DD/Phat Cat

Bubs sold me a Newport with Phat Cats... great guitar, but with my amps, they sound sorta harsh... my most modern amp is a Mesa Blue Angel, which I love, and the Phat Cats sound ok there... but I'm not so sassyfied withe em... I think Josh could really turn out some amazing pickups. After my Shishkov, that is what I gonna do!

Turn volume and tone a bit down. Phat Cats are hot.

 
i would like to know more about this pickup winder called Josh.  Does he have a company name? I'm am intrigued.  

Nevermind mind found it I believe.

I have only had my Newport for about a month now and I dig the Phat Cats! Not quite a P90 but they are their own sweet thing. 

All 3 positions yield good tones. They also LOVE a 6g3 brown Deluxe.....and a tweed Deluxe too.  Honestly, that guitar sounds great through all my amps....

Never had the pleasure to try a DD. I do have a Rumpel HB sized single coil that was custome made for me in the bridge of my Strat....Rod mags like the DD but wound hotter. So kinda like a big Strat pickup on steroids...or a Jazzmaster pickup on steroids. It killed in my Artist but a set of Rumpel'trons had to go in there....

Josh or Rumpel or Biltoft at VV are the guys who will wind you whatever you want....simply describe the magical sound in your head along with the guitar/amp particulars and they will wind to match.

 
Sorry, I only have a Pro (buckers) to compare to the Newport w/Cats, which I no longer own due to the Bigsby, so I cannot compare the two you are asking about.  Although I can say, I miss the PatCats so much, I am looking to replace the Newport as Bigsby-less, PhatCat loaded.  Maybe the best Ps I have ever heard.
