y2kc Posted November 12, 2008 Posted November 12, 2008 111518, Yeah I dig the old low powered amps with single coils as well. I have the skyhawk out now and have been playing an early (#505) G&L George Fullerton Model through it. Really nice with a Fulltone at mid house friendly levels. The sg-jr hasn't seen the light of day in years. Too nice to mess with. My bucker equipped Heritage guitars (140 & 125) sound best through my '54 Gibson ga-40, Les Paul amp and also the Sovtec mig 50. Actually they sound great through that amp. Long live the p-90 and small tube amps! y2kc

But I want three Goldtops, one with P90's, one with Humbuckers and one with minihumbuckers. The first Goldtop I saw (and listend to) live on stage was a Les Paul Deluxe. For me that was the real guitar at that time. I still want a Goldtop with minihumbuckers.

You mean something like this...? http://www.gbase.com/Stores/Gear/GearDetai...px?Item=1944046
Bombassa Posted November 12, 2008 Posted November 12, 2008 You mean something like this...? http://www.gbase.com/Stores/Gear/GearDetai...px?Item=1944046 Jepp. That's the magic one. :laugh: ...Compared to the P90 version, I think this one is more handsome. The problem is that Heritage Guitars are not available here in Norway. (Even if I have two Heritage Goldtops. The other one is a H140 - 1986)
High Flying Bird Posted November 12, 2008 Posted November 12, 2008 The problem is that Heritage Guitars are not available here in Norway. I'll bet a couple of guys here would be able to help you out. One is a dealer and the other a guitar broker. Search for user names Fautline and Brentrocks. With the internet your mom and pop store might be in the US. :wink:

Fan-freakin-tastic Thanks Brent.
freshmattyp Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 Here's my one and only P90 - a Gibson Melody Maker from 2004. Not my actual guitar, but close enough. These are really great guitars, and I got mine dirt cheap. Light, loud, and very toneful. http://www.guitar.com.au/guitars/electric/gibson/images/lpmm_sc.jpg[/img]

Bombassa Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 heck yeah...i ship guitars to Ireland all the time :wink: Thank you. I might get i touch with you later. But not before Cristmas. If I bought a guitar now, someone else here in my family would expect very expensive gifts for Cristmas. ;D I am living i Noway (correct spelled..) not Ireland :wink:

peterbright Posted November 14, 2008 Posted November 14, 2008 Had an SG with P90's...still kick myself for selling it.
pro-fusion Posted November 14, 2008 Posted November 14, 2008 As a ultra high-gain player, I've always preferred humbuckers. But I love the sound of the "P-90 snarl" as a change of pace, and I'd love to get something like an SG Jr. or Les Paul Jr. with a set of them. Tony Iommi pretty much invented heavy metal with an SG Special equipped with P-90s (which were later modified by John Birch).

shook494 Posted November 19, 2008 Posted November 19, 2008 I played this one today on a Bad Cat amp, don't remember the model of the amp but DAMN!! It has a really cool vibe. Wish I could get it right now. It was hard walking out of there. I need something with P90's again. I had an Ibanez Ghostrider with P90's and It was pretty killer. Sold it to help fund a Heritage though ;D http://cowtownguitars.com/itemtest2.php?in...bsonitemtop.txt
High Flying Bird Posted November 19, 2008 Posted November 19, 2008 Here's a buddy's. http://www.ronwarren.com/heritage/img_2310_std.jpg[/img]
shook494 Posted November 19, 2008 Posted November 19, 2008 Wow! That's the twin of the one I played today Bird!
brentrocks Posted November 19, 2008 Posted November 19, 2008 the 137 arrives tomorrow...boy i am excited to have it back :afro:
Kuz Posted November 19, 2008 Posted November 19, 2008 p-90s + Bad Cat amp = David Grissom tone!!!!! :afro: (even though his signature guitar has humbuckers voiced a lot like p-90s)
cadenza Posted November 19, 2008 Posted November 19, 2008 Heard a lot about those Bad Cat amps, never tried one though.
OldCrow Posted November 19, 2008 Posted November 19, 2008 I am going to get smited here, but... I do NOT dig badcat amps, at all. Their clean channels are amazing, no doubt. I played a hot cat 15 and cranked the clean channel to the point of break up and it was GLORIOUS. Then I tried the gain channel thinking it was a more "tamable" version of the clean channel. Boy was I disappointed it was just compressed and mushy feeling, too much gain (for me personally) so after about a minute of messing around and knob turning (the amps not mine) I plugged back into the clean side and cranked it again. I will put this out there, outside of my Marshall JMP 2203 and a few select amps I am a non-master volume guy so I'm sure that's where a lot of my unhappiness for the Badcat comes from. As for p90 love, I'm trying to trade a guy my Duncans for his Gibson ones, hopefully he'll bite and I can get some lower output p90s loaded into my Blues 90
yoslate Posted November 19, 2008 Posted November 19, 2008 Hey, 'fiddler, thanks for the Jason Lollar article! Very correct cat! Insightful and articulate guy; it's a pleasure to read an interview with someone so knowledgeable, who can also communicate his insight! Proud to have his '90's in my Super!
Spectrum13 Posted November 19, 2008 Posted November 19, 2008 May I second....Great Lollar articles! Puts the pup swapping thing in prespective.
