I want to get this neck pickup a little lighter and more vintage sounding, so let’s try these four P90s…

Life too short for long YouTube videos? Please see the ‘Interesting bits and go-to sections’ information below.

Welcome to the vlog. This is the second part of a pickup swap in my 2002 PRS McCarty Soapbar.
I compare four Lollar P90s in the neck position and discuss my thoughts so far, not least the problems of testing in this way. Ahem.
The first part is here, and is worth watching to add some context to what’s happening in this episode: https://youtu.be/evxwmx9Yf2c

Questions arising…
Q. This was about neck pickups, why did you spend so much time on the bridge?
A. To compare and contrast. The relationship between neck and bridge is fundamentally important.

Q. Why Lollars and not //insert pickup brand here//?
A. Answered at 1:28

Q. What is the signal path with the Tone King Imperial?
A. Guitar into Amp. On the lead channel. I really like this!

Q. What is the signal path in the loud bit with the Boogie power amp?
A. There’s a diagram at 16:59. I really, really, really, really like this.

Enjoy the episode!
