Pretty off topic but it's a nice conversation!
P-90s are awesome in my opinion! The sound can't be compared with the true single coil sound. It's more "hot" and more aggressive and that's why they sound good with high volumes.
Chev you should definitely check a set to your baritone! I use a Fender Jaguar baritone with P-90s and they are great! The last couple of months I have installed one Seymour Duncan P-rails!
Is actually 3 pus in one... P-90, a rail (with kind of strat sound) and both together as a Humbucker!
If you like those GF tones, I believe this pickup deserves the extra money  :-D  


ok thanks for the heads up, that SD looks good! yeah GFS are good to experiment different tones...but if I find the kind I like, I might go up a notch in quality and price...just got to worth it.

perhaps we should move this discussion to my thread on PU's...but more people tend to come here and comment...specially that I plan on playing some doom with my PU's...! :evil:

I've been curious about the P-Rails...

and you're getting me curious too...haha, from the schematic they give, I could swap my volume & tone pots for push-pulls with 2 P-rails and have infinite kind of tones...SC/HB/P-90...! :-o

but for now I want my Mean 90 so bad...! 8-)

there's a rad home-shop close to my place that recycle electric guitars of any kind and do custom crazy setup...I might bring my bari there if I go with the push-pull mods...

Just did a live room recording in St. Louis with my beta bass (and a traynor) you can check the studio update with video at http://fisterdoom.com

The beta bass is the 'main' bass track.

One will be on a 12" split with The Lion's Daughter the other will be a cassette EP (side A) with our demo on side B. Both of them will be free for download at pissfork.net if you don't use archaic machines to listen to music.  :wink:

hey, I love «archaic machines» to listen music...my turntable and I'm glad I kept my tapedeck because some good stuff are on tape only sometimes... :wink:

keep looking!

but that's the reason I went with an Avatar cab, specially that I only needed an extra 2x12...the Monolith looks good too but not silverface...

new good quality boot tracks of Monument playing 1200s through a 412L and bassist using beta bass 1x15 combo with an Altec Lansing steel cast speaker thrown in posted here.  Studio recordings with Model T up there as well, new album in the mixing process as we speak.

New family pic. Finally got to play the Sheraton at practice last night with the full band (we are auditioning new drummers after ours passed away last month). Sounds just mean, nasty, and evil through the Enforcer. Semi-hollow and Sunn = DOOM! I ran the rigs in tandem also for a bit, nice!
