pickup question

[Bill in SC]

Has anybody ever tried a humbucker in the bridge and a P-90 in the neck, or is that a crazy idea?

Crazy idea.  Never been done.  Except on stock Gibsons.

The new BFG les pauls have that, do they not?

Shagga also have a similar configuration.

CB and Jackthehack have made a few of those.

Not crazy; no issue at all....

Do you wire them like you would 2 humbuckers? In other words, in the middle position with the three way switch, is the P-90 and bridge pickup both on together? Just trying to imagine what that would sound like.

Could vary greatly dependant upon P90/HB used...

Of course I would be using a Gibson P-90 in the neck and a Gibson burstbucker pro in the bridge.

I don't have that config, but CB does,,,, CB?

works for me~

hint:  either get a lighter/sweeter p90 (fralin, underwound a bit) or a balls out HB - because P90's in the neck are very powerful.

A-W-E-S-O-M-E, CB!!

Go the balls out HB...

Go the balls out HB...

Disagree... see the conversation on hot HBs that was going on for a while...
