Humbucking pickups P90 slot

Question

Posted

I'm looking for a spicy noiseless P90 pickup and not looking to spend a ton of dough.

I know on the cheaper end we have GFS and Dimarzio. Is there another maker in the $40 - $60 range?

I need a little clarification; do you want it to sound like a humbucker or a P90?

That's a good question. I would say anywhere from a hot p90 to humbucker sound. In the Dimarzio line I'm looking at DP154 Deluxe Plus. If I want to get a single coil sound I guess I can split it.

It wouldn't hurt to look into minihumbuckers; they'll fit into a soapbar route and Dimarzio, Duncan, etc. have lots of different models. I like the Dimarzio Minihumbucker/Hot Minihumbucker combo myself.

I have several of those DiMarzios hanging around that need a good home. Not sure exactly which ones they are, but I will post what they are when I get home tonight :)

I just looked through my pickup drawer and found a DiMarzio DP209 P-90 Super Distortion with black cover and an unlabeled P-90 stack that is most likely a Duncan.

And, as proof of the "too many guitars, too few brain cells syndrome," I found just the boxes from a DiMarzio DP164BK DLX-90 with black cover and a DP169BK Virtual P-90 with black cover. I had these two removed from my Vanguard and replaced with a Rio Grande Bluesbar/Jazzbar set so these are probably floating around in a Rio Grande box that I haven't noticed or (God forbid) in the neck pocket of the wrong case. I'll find them in the next few days. :blink:

Well, I might be interested if you go decide to part with one. I went with a GFS soapbar 180 and I'm having a tough time bonding with it. It seems to be quite sensitive to height.
