rockabilly69 Posted April 24, 2015 Posted April 24, 2015 For those who want to hear a good demo of P90s vs Humbuckers, with both types straight into a Fender Tweed Harvard. To me they both sound GREAT! https://youtu.be/P1EMthKg3OE
Gitfiddler Posted April 24, 2015 Posted April 24, 2015 That was a blast. JB wanking away at two amazing vintage LP's in a hotel room...hoping to not get kicked out! He sounds fantastic, as usual. What I like most is his whole attitude about these old, valuable instruments. Paraphrased: "Just play and enjoy them. We are custodians, taking care of them and passing them down to future generations..."
yoslate Posted April 24, 2015 Posted April 24, 2015 In a more perfect world, it would not be P-90's vs humbuckers, it'll be P-90's and humbuckers! Still not entirely sold on all of Joe's playing, but, you've got it, Tim, he just plays the fekkin' thing...in the real world, where it matters! Props!
ADKJazz Posted April 24, 2015 Posted April 24, 2015 I'm not a huge JB fan, I do respect his talent and dedication to the craft.. That being said, I appreciate his lack of reverence and geekery when talking about gear. Just play the thing............we should all be so content.
rockabilly69 Posted April 24, 2015 Author Posted April 24, 2015 In a more perfect world, it would not be P-90's vs humbuckers, it'll be P-90's and humbuckers! I agree with this statement, and I will put your idea into use tonight...
schundog Posted April 24, 2015 Posted April 24, 2015 God, I love that picture! What a classic combination of colors and pickups.
AP515 Posted April 25, 2015 Posted April 25, 2015 I agree with this statement, and I will put your idea into use tonight... Somebody's playing some slide tonight! As for the comparison, the P90's win.
Kuz Posted April 25, 2015 Posted April 25, 2015 Honestly, with the low tech phone-camera recording overloading it was hard to hear a "real" difference. But with my GT150 with Wolfetone P90s vs my GT150 with Throback SLE-101 Humbuckers ..... the two sound completely night & day different. Great idea, I just wish it was recorded better because for those that will say "they sound similar" ..... they really don't (or they really shouldn't).
ledzef Posted April 26, 2015 Posted April 26, 2015 I did like the line about being custodians of these instruments to keep for future generations. P90 is just raw in a good way , 'bucker has a creamy sound both good.
mark555 Posted May 3, 2015 Posted May 3, 2015 would love a guitar with a humbucker on the bridge and P90 at the neck. different tools for the job, neither better than the other.
