When it comes to ball-park PAF tone . . . this will do for me :

Re: Who likes actual PAFs?
Realistically, a gibson p-90 is not a filterton, fullshred, nazgul or black winter. It’s not the right tool for the job for what I am doing. *shrug* that’s what makes it clunky to me, not that it wouldn’t be perfect for others in a zillion other situations.
About the tone of vintage Gibson HB’s…
In the vid below, I don’t hear the bridge PU’s as too thin sounding nor the neck ones as too warm, nor any of them as “clunky”.
But I surely hear this tone of yesteryears that I was evoking in my first post.
YMMV...

Re: Who likes actual PAFs?
Just to be clear, I'll repeat myself: my comment about the video link that I've posted was about the Gibson HB's: the 1959 P.A.F.'s and 1962 Patent Sticker's .
If I had to comment the tone of the P90's in this same vid, I'd use different words because in this case, they sound distinctively different (the higher inductance of P90's can be clearly heard through the Fargen amp used by Dave Hunter, in a fatter tone after a less precise attack).
Now, I've obviously no objection against your preferences: I see what you mean, since I use and appreciate Filter'Trons as well.
Filter'Trons have indeed something special, because of their very low inductance. It would make them uber clear sounding if their tone wasn't obscured by eddy currents (which are a good thing, since they give their "growl" to Filter'Tron's)...
