So not long ago I part-ex'd a Squier Vintage Modified Custom II Tele with 2 x Duncan Design P90s for a Fullerton Red Tribute Fallout. Loved almost everything about the guitar apart from the weight and the bridge pickup which I felt could do with a little more oompf..(I'm not the most subtle of players
). As a consequence the Tribute Fallout appealed with the humbucker in the bridge and the higher quality (I particularly love the neck, the bridge and the lack of weight!!!..Oooo!! and the colour!!!).So the part-ex wasn't the best on the face of it and I was a little miffed I hadn't noticed the bridge pickup had been replaced with a Seymour Duncan JB..obviously the JB is a good pickup but it meant they'd dicked about with the electrics when I understood the guitar to be stock. Also didn't notice the JB was 50mm not 53mm..frustrating..anyway..I can wire and I sorted another humbucker.
That all being said, I'm kinda wanting to go back to a P90 in the bridge again like the old Custom II. I'm finding the humbucker kinda masks the true twang of the string and I'm missing that.
I should stress this is not a question about squeezing a legit P90 in the humbucker slot, I'm fine with humbucker sized P90s. Happy for others to discuss elsewhere how they are or are not P90's, for me it's a debate over semantics, that's the route I'm taking...which brings me to my questions..
1) Does anyone know the polarity of the neck P90 in the Fallout so I can hopefully get a reverse for the bridge position?
2) Does anyone have a humbucker sized P90 in the bridge of their Fallout that they love already, what is it and what do you love about it?
Cheers all!!! Stu
