yeahman, well great first effort at vid-age. it's the first 4 mins. that got me, tho. has me thinking, "hmmm, wonder if i can find a used 2nd edition for a good deal, maybe slip in some p-rails...". i think he got a great hunk of wood in that 140 and it really comes through...

It's a bit hard to tell from the Youtube clip but I'd say very similar ( obviously). I prefer the full humbucker tone, neck pickup especially, the P-90 tones are good also, and I'm not really into the single coil rails tone much at all. The different combinations of P-90 neck and bridge humbucker and vice versa are very interesting. Mine is set up for independent operation, i.e. each pickup has it's own mini switch with humbucker / P90/rail options . The third switch is not set up at the moment.

 

I actually prefer the sound of the P-Rails to HRWs which I have in the Millie and the VIP2, (with D-VIP switching). The clean tone is bright and full with not too much output.
