What's your favourite P90 tone?

RandallFlagg

Funny old pickup the P90, but some of my favourite tones are generated by them:

• The Who - Live at Leeds (obviously!)
• Sex Pistols - Belsen Was a Gas (Live at Winterland)
• The Clash - 1-2 Crush On You
• John Lennon's Epiphone Casino
• Mountain - Nantucket Sleighride

What other classic P90 tones have you got?

Freddie King's gold top springs to mind.

Dinosaur Jr studio stuff. In the studio J mostly used P90 Gibson’s and Teles. The Jazzmaster is his live guitar.

Recorded with Old Black, it wasn't a P90, it was a Firebird pickup.

Agreed that the best version is on Weld though.

Love Leslie west's tone

For a big ol dirty p90 tone can't beat clutch

I like Billy squire when he uses a junior

I like the hairiness (lol) of this performance SG juniors are my all time favourite - and this sound and playing are just where it’s at for P90s for me the single note stuff and the rhythm playing - all fantastic!
