Owen Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 I have a Chinese Fender Maurader. It has a P90 in the neck which I like. It has a triplebucker in the bridge which I do not like. I am not a guitarist so am clueless. I know I like two J pickups full on. Should I transfer this to this guitar and go for another P90 (in a humbucker case) so having 2 x P90s or should I get a nicer humbucker? Whatever it will be will come from Catswhiskers pickups. Bear in mind that I have a bass with 2 J pickups and one P pickup in it with an East Uni Pre with extra switching to use all coils individually and I only ever use both J full on so the whole subtelty of different tones is not one I chase.

AndyTravis Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 P-94 (humbucker sized p-90)? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Posted June 20, 2018 Author Share Posted June 20, 2018 Yes a P-94 I guess. Catswhiskers is calling it a Fat Moggy. http://www.catswhiskerpickups.co.uk/p90.html I am minded to go that way. But am open to suggestion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt P Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 I've got a guitar with a Seymour Duncan fat cat at the neck and a SD JB at the bridge, not a suggested combo from seymour but it works surprisingly well (i'm a total JB addict though, got them in 2 guitars and another one in the drawer for the next guitar.) i've had my eye on a Phat Moggy for a while now, if the fat cat hadn't popped up cheap on ebay then that would be what i bought, the catswhisker pickups are very tempting, have you considered emailing him and asking what he'd suggest? it might be worth having a coil tap switch as well for the humbucker (you might be able to coil tap the current pickup if it's got the right wiring.)

Owen Posted June 22, 2018 Author Share Posted June 22, 2018 I have discussed it with Mr Catswhiskers who initially suggested a Classic 5 Humbucker (http://www.catswhiskerpickups.co.uk/humbucker.html). I asked about the suitability of a dual P90 set up and he suggested the Fat Moggy. I am sure either would work and I would be more than happy with either. Thanks for being part of my stream of conciousness thought process. I will have the Fat Moggy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezbass Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Good call, P90s for the win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
therealting Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 I had a humbucker and a humbucker-sized P90 (both from GFS) in a PRS Singlecut SE a few years ago - was a great sounding and lightweight monster! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
