versatility

[dani]

hello all,

which pup configuration in your opinion is more versatile to produce a wide range of sounds be it clean or dirty?

humbucker bridge with 2 single coils in the middle and neck, or
humbucker bridge with a p-90 neck?

thanks!
dani

I'd say a pair of P-90's in a Semi hollow or chambered axe.

Re: versatility

i was thinking a seth bridge with a ssl-2 mid and aps-2 neck or a vintage p-90 neck in a reverend slingshot. maybe i should stick with scott's favorite p-90 combo of sp90-3n rwrp and sp90-1n.

H-S-S with a blend pot... most versatile IMHO.

A Reverend with a pair of P-90's will civer a lot of ground. Add the locking tuners and the Bigsby and you'll have a killer sounding, killer looking guitar that will do a lot of styles very well.

+a coil split for your humbucker.. and possibly a series switch so you can make your pos 4 sound like a humbucker (though thats making things a little complicated!)

a H/S/S or H/S/H with coil splits are probably as versitile as they get.. unless you want to add a piezo bridge or something like that :dance:

Re: versatility

I dont see a need for versatility when i play and my 2 guitars are on the 2 extremes of the spectrum-1 is a HH with a 500t and a 496R in the bridge, Gibson's highest output pickups, and the other axe is an SSS strat with very low output antII surfers. I find that i can play any tune suitably with either guitar.

Most versatile for me is a mahogany strat with a ant. texas hot in the neck, ssl3 in the middle, and a 59 in the bridge.
