Hello!
I've done some research, regarding the tonal difference, in
1. Adjusting the whole P90 pickup with cover, closer/farther from the strings, and
2. Adjusting only the pole pieces up and down.
I found my P90's to sound the best, with the entire pickup close to the strings, and the pole pieces flush with the cover, or even screwed a bit further in. It was very warm, balanced and chimey this way.
Raising the pole pieces and lowering the overall assembly, resulted in a tone that was brash, lacked "balance" and also the chime was gone. The brigde pickup became very aggressive and middy, and the neck pickup boomy and bassy.

I asked this question before, now I have tried it for my self, and wanted to share the results.
