y2kc Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 111518, Yeah I dig the old low powered amps with single coils as well. I have the skyhawk out now and have been playing an early (#505) G&L George Fullerton Model through it. Really nice with a Fulltone at mid house friendly levels. The sg-jr hasn't seen the light of day in years. Too nice to mess with. My bucker equipped Heritage guitars (140 & 125) sound best through my '54 Gibson ga-40, Les Paul amp and also the Sovtec mig 50. Actually they sound great through that amp. Long live the p-90 and small tube amps! y2kc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I want three Goldtops, one with P90's, one with Humbuckers and one with minihumbuckers. The first Goldtop I saw (and listend to) live on stage was a Les Paul Deluxe. For me that was the real guitar at that time. I still want a Goldtop with minihumbuckers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is that Heritage Guitars are not available here in Norway. (Even if I have two Heritage Goldtops. The other one is a H140 - 1986) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High Flying Bird Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 The problem is that Heritage Guitars are not available here in Norway. I'll bet a couple of guys here would be able to help you out. One is a dealer and the other a guitar broker. Search for user names Fautline and Brentrocks. With the internet your mom and pop store might be in the US. :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freshmattyp Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Here's my one and only P90 - a Gibson Melody Maker from 2004. Not my actual guitar, but close enough. These are really great guitars, and I got mine dirt cheap. Light, loud, and very toneful. http://www.guitar.com.au/guitars/electric/gibson/images/lpmm_sc.jpg[/img] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peterbright Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Had an SG with P90's...still kick myself for selling it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pro-fusion Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 As a ultra high-gain player, I've always preferred humbuckers. But I love the sound of the "P-90 snarl" as a change of pace, and I'd love to get something like an SG Jr. or Les Paul Jr. with a set of them. Tony Iommi pretty much invented heavy metal with an SG Special equipped with P-90s (which were later modified by John Birch). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shook494 Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 I played this one today on a Bad Cat amp, don't remember the model of the amp but DAMN!! It has a really cool vibe. Wish I could get it right now. It was hard walking out of there. I need something with P90's again. I had an Ibanez Ghostrider with P90's and It was pretty killer. Sold it to help fund a Heritage though ;D http://cowtownguitars.com/itemtest2.php?in...bsonitemtop.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldCrow Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 I am going to get smited here, but... I do NOT dig badcat amps, at all. Their clean channels are amazing, no doubt. I played a hot cat 15 and cranked the clean channel to the point of break up and it was GLORIOUS. Then I tried the gain channel thinking it was a more "tamable" version of the clean channel. Boy was I disappointed it was just compressed and mushy feeling, too much gain (for me personally) so after about a minute of messing around and knob turning (the amps not mine) I plugged back into the clean side and cranked it again. I will put this out there, outside of my Marshall JMP 2203 and a few select amps I am a non-master volume guy so I'm sure that's where a lot of my unhappiness for the Badcat comes from. As for p90 love, I'm trying to trade a guy my Duncans for his Gibson ones, hopefully he'll bite and I can get some lower output p90s loaded into my Blues 90 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoslate Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Hey, 'fiddler, thanks for the Jason Lollar article! Very correct cat! Insightful and articulate guy; it's a pleasure to read an interview with someone so knowledgeable, who can also communicate his insight! Proud to have his '90's in my Super!
