P-90s (Gibson R6) + Ceriatone Express = bliss

[larseko]

I just bought myself a second hand Gibson Goldtop Les Paul 1956 Reissue loaded with P-90s, and just have to say that it feels like it was made for my trainwreck. It's absolutely stunning, I just can't stop playing

Especially the neck pickup, with the tone turned low, growls merrily, tones sustains for days when soloing, and just give me the goose bumps. I could play one tone and enjoy the complexity and crunch of it for days. And this is both with master volume rolled down a bit and with a weber mass. I have the amp driving a 2x12" Framus cab in our bedroom in an apartment building, so I have to keep it low. Really hard when getting these kinds of tone, though.

Just wanted to get this out somewhere, P90s + Trainwreck = totally awesome, if somebody ever doubted that.

Unfortunately, I'm such a crappy player (I don't "deserve" the equipment I got at all), but I will try to make some clips at some stage.

I got the impression somewhere that Ken liked P-90 Gibsons with the Wrecks quite a bit.

I also love P90's with my Express, but then again, I love P90's with every decent amp I have tried.

Right, I think I might have read something along those lines too.

I haven't tried it with any other decent amps, but itt even makes a cheap Fender solid state amp sound good (with loads of gain, even!).

When I finally get a working Liverpool clone I'm really looking forward to trying out my Loper Tele with Fralin P90s. It sounds good with ordinary amps, so this should be something special...

Oh, I'd be very interested in clips with that setup. In a distant future I might check out a couple of Fralins in the Gibby.
