Sound

Output lower than original, and lower than existing neck pup, which I haven't changed, but no problem, just raised it a little and lowered the neck pup a little to compensate
Extremely well balanced tone, just the right amount of mid-range to cut through
I'm a blues player, and this is exactly the tone I was looking for, fat, warm, vintage & complements the neck P-90 perfectly. Don't really use the both pups together, but the contrast between the two is really nice
This pup is wound specifically for bridge position, Pete also does a neck HP-90, which I haven't heard
Overall Rating

I'd definitely get another if anything happened to this one, no question
Been playing 35 years, use a Cornford Hurricane 18W combo, also a PRS Custom 22 20th Anniversary, a G&L ASAT Z3 Semi-hollow, and a heavily customised Strat
Love this pup, can't fault it in any way. Also worth mentioning that the price is much, much less than some other makes, got to be the best value pup I've ever bought!
Difficult to find humbuckers to fit a P-90 rout, didn't try any others, was tempted by a couple that DiMarzio make, but after some research decided to give this a go. Glad I did.
Extremely satisfied
I have to say, Pete Biltoft is great to deal with, he patiently answered all my questions, no matter how dumb! and always replied straight away, even though I was only ordering a single pup. Can't ask for better service
