Kinman Noiseless P-90 Hx...

[SMark]

I got myself a set of these and loaded them into a Strat. I'm really liking them. They actually sound like a real P-90 and definitely NOT like a humbucker. I uploaded 3 recordings to Soundclick if you're interested...

And here's a pic of my Strat...

I recorded a new song with this Strat. Here's the link...

I'm calling it my tribute to Sean Costello. It's bit more "old school" than the others...

And I made a YouTube video if anyone is interested...

Mighty fine playing there.

Cool looking Strat, too.

[Frat Rettle]

I enjoyed that...thanks matey.

Really does sound quite excellent. Excellent playing, sweet tone. What amp/fx are you using in the video?

[SMark]

Thanx!

I use a modified 1982 Fender Concert. You can just barely see it in back of me. It sits on top of a Fender SFX Satellite which is set on slapback echo. Otherwise I'm not using any pedals. The overdrive & reverb come from the amp, and the slapback comes from the Satellite. I don't run the Satellite back into the Concert for the full effect either. I prefer to keep the wet & dry signals separate, and I can do that since the Satellite has it's own amp & speaker. I think it sounds better that way. Both speakers are Webers. The Concert has an alnico 12" California and the Satellite has a ceramic 12" California with the Weber bass cone.

Cool. Made me look up the SFX Satellite. Interesting bit o' gear.

[SMark]

Yeah, it didn't last very long. The biggest problem with it is that it has all these cool digital effects and the only way to select them is this one little tiny knob. Which is why I have it set on slapback 90% of the time. 32 different settings, one knob, and not footswitch selectable either. On the plus side, having it's own separate amp & speaker, with the speaker mounted sideways gives the effects some significant depth.

Good job on that video I like your approach.. strat sounds good with the P90"s- did you swap out the pots for 500k or leave em stock?

[SMark]

Thanx. Yes, I did swap them out for 500k pots.

This is pretty much exactly what I was hoping to get from this Strat. I'm real happy with it.

Sweet tone and playing!
I love the rack of Fendery guitars too!

[SMark]

Thanx! And yes, I love my rack of Strats...
