  • Phat Cat + Humbucker

    I own a Tokai Les Paul (Japan Model), and have recently brought a phat cat pick up to put in the neck. I was wondering if you could recommend a humbucker for the bridge to complement it?

    I mainly play indie and post rock, main influences being radiohead, mogwai and queens of the stone age, so i want it to be able handle gain, as well as some trebly but kinda mellow cleans.

    Epiphone Les Paul Studio (59 neck and JB bridge)
    Marshall Valvestate 8080 (80 watts)

      Welcome to the forum! I play some of te same things you do with my Lester and couldn't be happier with the Pearly Gates set I have in mine. If you need more output, I'd suggest Eeither a Custom or a Custom 5.
      Ain't nothin' but a G thang, baby.

        When I asked this question of the SD guys, they suggested the Custom Custom bridge as a mate to the Phat Cat neck. That was for a Fender scale length, so you might want to ask them specifically about this combo in a LP.

              How do a P-90 and a humbucker sound together? Specifically the phat cat neck and JB bridge.

No other fate would even faintly do; an impassioned lack of alternatives moved my tongue; what for another might be a heartfelt wish was for me an absolute condition.

                What about another Phat Cat? Then mod a bridge plate to fit on the guitar.
