Thanks for the other replies, there's hours of stuff to look at: )
Whose P90s are recommended? Any definitely to be avoided?
If you're looking to have a guitar with two P90s you can wire them so that they're hum cancelling in the middle position, which is a godsend if you're playing a venue where there's fluorescent lighting/electromagnetic interference. Happy hunting!
I love the Jekyll + Hyde Character of a P90 - neck pick-up is velvet smooth - Lindt chocolate smooth - That is why so many jazz players love them - Cool and laid back - Bridge pick up can bite and kick down a barn door - Hence why the punk orientated players love them
Seriously under ratted combination IMO
Personally refer a slightly under wound option
I really like P90s, they are a middle ground but not really much of a compromise either. They sound way better and fatter than singlecoils but more clarity and character than a humbucker. When I put P90s in my Les Paul it was the sound I always wanted out of a strat but couldn't get it due to the weedy normal singlecoils.
Mike Ness' goldtop p90 tone is excellent.

He went back to p90's from humbucker les pauls

More P90 Social Distortion goodness here, not the goldtop this time

Has a bass roll-off control.
Love their guitars. Wish they were more widely available here. I have one of the old US ones with p90's. Great guitars.
It's not a pickup demo. Or a demo of any sort. I didn't say it was! It's just a bloke enjoying a guitar made by a forum member here with a pickup made by another of our forum members. It's what a good Junior and P90 into a loud Marshall sounds like. Bridge pickup on a Strat or Tele doesn't sound like that.
Typically through a Cornell Romany Pro and sometimes my AC15C1X.
I like em. Nice and responsive. I think they sound better into Marshall type amps than Fender.
Bridge P90 - Honky Tonk Women
They're probably my favourite pickups in combination too.
Stock Gibson ones are great, but particular favourites for me have been Klein Epic 57s and Arcane Sweet 90s
