Okay, after much effort and a few trials we finally have a noiseless P90 that I am willing to call ready for primetime.
We spent a lot of time messing with different winds and magnets and finally tried out a set this morning that sounded right.
That said, these are still humbuckers so they will still sound different from a pure single coil pickup but the magnet combination we end up with really saves the day to get enough bite and mids. This was Joshua's handy work. He went through several magnet combinations to find the right combo.
The down side of this type of pickup is their thickness. They are nearly twice the thickness of a standard P90.
I know some of you want specs so let me start by saying that stacked pickups don't work the same as regular humbuckers so the DC resistance ends up much higher than a stand alone single coil or humbucker.
Neck is 14.4k and the bridge is right around 17k Magnets: each pickup gets 2 magnets, 1 Alnico 4 and 1 Alnico 5.
It's fun creating and then finally getting to the goal with something that sounds good!
Todd and Joshua
