Not a reply about P90s per say. Muddy bass pickups? This is a easy "fix". I have not tried this so I cannot say it works or is usable. https://www.seymourduncan.com/blog/tips-and-tricks/mod-squad-muddy-sounding-neck-pickup https://forum.gibson.com/topic/63847-taming-muddy-sounding-pickups/...

Back to the subject of this thread. I used my wife's knitting needles as a feeler gauge. They come in all sizes from 1.5mm to 5mm. Hold the sixth string down at the last fret and do the same for the first string. The gap I use is 3.5mm on bass and 2.0mm on treble. Now the fun begins, this...

Came across these: https://www.premierguitar.com/diy/mod-garage/build-your-own-prs-sweet-switch https://www.guitarscanada.com/threads/buffed-to-a-brilliant-shine.308858/ One cuts highs, the other boosts highs.

If you want the single coil to have the same volume as a full humbucker, there is mod for that. Its not prefect. The tone will change and may not be what to want or like. I did it to my Modern Eagle II with 57/08 pickups. It a tonal option. So, un-solder the ground wire at the switch. Middle...

Today's prices reflect the loss of purchasing power of the currency. Remember deficits don't matter. Now they do. If the price of an item goes up, is it more valuable?

I read somewhere on the 'net that his 57 pick-ups had different screws. You decide.

Why not drop a small compression spring in the hole? Length of spring will determine height. Check this out: https://www.stewmac.com/parts-and-hardware/bridges-and-tailpieces/bridges-and-tailpieces-for-electric-guitar/trem-arm-tension-spring

I have two guitars with stoptail bridges. Both of them do not have this problem. The "problem" is your setup is wrong. Is your treble side string height lower than your bass side? PRS spec is 3/32" @ the 12th fret, bass side and 3/32"-1/64th" on treble side. Ignore the 1/64. But wont that be...

This maybe of interest to you. https://music-electronics-forum.com/forum/instrumentation/guitar-tech/971377-how-to-get-the-tone-rolled-off-low-mid-bump-without-a-tone-pot

Thanks for your explanation. Ground is ground. The shorted out coil still has resistance, possible induction with capacitance. There maybe some induced noise that the working coil may pick up. I dont hear it on my guitars, but I dont have Paul's magic ears. In the end, its the consistency...

As an owner of a low power class A amp, let me add my thoughts. Source of noise? Tubes, circuit layout, design, bad component. Remedies, new tubes, DC heaters, Negative feedback, new component. Remedies require a tech to do. This amp could be a series Class A amp, which would explain why...

You can "improve" the single coil sound by adding a capacitor in the circuit. But it will never sound like a true single coil. Its more of a tonal option. I did this on my MEII with 57/08. First, there is no volume loss compared with the humbucker. Second it sounds fuller. Third, the...

I found this on another forum. Maybe of use to someone. https://www.dropbox.com/s/931hz6uhmplp7d5/Yeks_Guide_to_the_Fractal_Audio_Drive_Models.pdf?dl=0

I'll take a stab at this. It is either the switch position or a broken wire from the pickup. I am going with broken wire. Dont know how good your electronic chops are, so you have to decide. Put your meter black lead to ground. With meter in low ohms scale, touch one of the connection points...
