Are P-90 pups Quieter than most single coils?

[StrangeDay]

Generally speaking? If so, are they as quiet as humbuckers? I want to save up for a Fender TC-90, but I don't want a noisy guitar. And I am more of a Humbucker dude

I find they are generally a bit noisier actually. That TC-90 looks pretty cool, if it phases you get a set of stacked P-90's.

So if the "phasing" is there, it would turn into a humbucking sound?

IMHO P90s are less noisy than normal single coils. Single coils buzz and p90s more like hum (but mine barely hum at all).

what about the overall tone? how could you describe it?

P-90s hum as much as a regular single. Their tone is not at all like a humbucker, a P-90 has big upper mids, tight lows, and big highs that don't get shrill . I like them a lot.

I meant "phases" as in bothers sorry for the confusion.

The stacked P-90's are humbucking.
