You've reminded me. I'll do my best to sort some decent in-situ pickup shots and a selection of B90 clips. I don't have great demo-ing chops but I'll see what I can do as regards some clean and crunchy sounds.

No rush mate, put your time and effort into getting the thing playing how you want first. I can wait...
Re: Pickup Choice
Either is good, I'm always here to help and if you futz it up I can prolly fix that too...
Re: Pickup Choice
This is what House of Tone were going to make for me
10.5k, Alnico 5 with polysol wire. It's a medium output for a touch of gain but good treb and bass response and dynamic string to string balance.
Comes with 4 conductor wiring, wax potting and lifetime warranty.
I'll want it black (hmmm, maybe a black and cream would look nice), uncovered and it will be mounted straight onto the body with with no pickup ring.
He also said something about the magnet being fully charged or 85% charged and something to do with inductance and that fully charged would probably suit me better.
Mutt,
Can you explain to me what the purpose of polysol wire is? The guy did explain it to me but I can't remember.
I gather that the %age charge of the magnets will change the inductance (I understand the A Level Physics) but I don't know how this affects tone.
Does the type of pole-piece affect tone? Are there choices on pole piece design?

Re: Pickup Choice
OK, mate, we are running round in circles here.. Noit your fault. I will start up a thread in Mutt*Pups that outline some of your questions on materials and their affect on tone. In short, just likw on a guitar everything affects it some how, how much and how controlable is another discussion.JD01 wrote: ↑Wed Mar 22, 2017 6:24 am This is what House of Tone were going to make for me

I will PM a rough cost of what you are after then I will start a spec thread in Mutt*Pups if you want to discuss in detail.
PM on the way...

My gold top has P90's in it. They hum like hell but I gate those live.. they record great.
