Is there a splitable humbucker that can do a good impression of.....

Strangefan

A tele neck pickup or p90
It doesn't have to be a humbucker but must fit humbucker sized routes oh and in gold

anyone have any ideas?
Thank you

It's high output and made for heavy stuff but my Bare Knuckle Warpig bridge pickup splits really nicely into a fat singlecoil tone - I'd imagine the neck is just as good!

I play heavy bass but funky groovy guitar so that may not be the ideal pickup, but thanks!

Was going to suggest a SD P-rail but they’re not gold and also pig ugly...

Would you not just get a humbucker sized P90?

You could get something like an oil city Brass Knuckle which is a humbucker made of two singles as I understand it.

P90 - yes, Seymour Duncan P-Rails. Fits a humbucker rout, but doesn't come in gold.

Tele neck - yes, any medium output (DC resistance around 10-12K) covered humbucker won't be too far off, preferably split to the 'slug' coil - which means that you may need to fit it reversed like Peter Green's Les Paul to get it into the right position.

Both in one pickup - no. Or not unless you could get one with two different coils, the screw one wound much hotter to try to get closer to the P90 sound.

Maybe ask @OilCityPickups if that's something that could be made specially - bearing in mind that either sound will only ever be an approximation.

@monquixote ; I want the option to have both via push pull si really a p 90 only will not give me the full bucker sound

@ICBM I think P rails may be the way to go or paybe the Fluence?

I didn't know about those - the MiniHB/Tele one is going to be pretty close to dead-on. The P90/Strat one probably won't be quite as close to the P90 sound since a lot of that relies on the physical size of the bobbin and the double magnet arrangement, but I don't doubt it will sound good.

Have a word with alegree - his Chameleon might do the job. It's what I'm planning to put in the neck of my Keefcaster.

Strangefan

I'm gonna go for an alegree p90 they look cool anyone got a discount code at all @Alegree ;

Alegree

That's exactly what the Chameleon is.
No discount codes at the moment, I'm overwhelmed as it is.

@Alegree I couldn't afford the chameleon so went for the desert dew instead

Are you going for a Alegree HB sized P90?

I have 2 of his Desert Dew's and they are my favourite pickups by quite a margin.

IMO, there's no harm in asking Alex at Alegree what he'd recommend or whether he could draw up a HB sized splittable hum cancelling P90.

That's ingenious - good to see some creativity in that business. What a neat idea!

maybe the Fluence?

Voice 1 on the Fluence Classic N is supposed to be P.A.F.-ish.

Voice 2 has a dual frequency peak frequency going on. Through overdriven valve amplification, this has the honk that I love about P90s. Clean, it does the warm/woody Jazz thing.

On some models, it is possible obtain a coil split sound by means of a DP3T on/off/on switch.

CAUTION: Fluence Classic humbuckers do their best impersonation of Gibson instruments in host guitars with a glued-in neck and stud mounted bridge/tailpiece hardware.

@Funkfingers thank you!
