Bright Sweet Neck – with the recently revised v3 top coil upgrade and it's beyond excellent sonic character it now rates as the outstanding best P-90 neck pickup.
If you like stellar highs that sizzle with harmonic sweetness, you'll also love the heavily accented piano mid-tones in the lows. We think you'll also dig the way every note explodes with liquid fluency under the lightest and fastest pick attack where every note literally rolls off the fretboard and rapidly moves a lot of air in front of the speaker. Consequently the Bright Sweet Neck is one of your most stimulating and satisfying P-90's to play. We think you will fall in love with it's lush somewhat 3D Fender-ish sound and excellent note separation and it's not inclined to break-up easily under heavy pick attack at loud room volume.
Nasty 90b with it's focused P-90 growl n grind from the wounds, bite and harmonic richness from all strings and stellar highs from the plains is recommended for the bridge position and not recommended for the neck position because the low wound strings tend to be unruly. In the bridge it works well with the Bright Sweet Neck model in the neck position.
