Noiseless pickup suggestions for my LP Special?

[stevejamsecono]

I currently have a mismatched set of noiseless Fralins in it that I'm not super crazy about in it, an alnico rod neck and an overwound bridge. The result is the neck sounds really wimpy and the bridge sounds dark and bland. Now that I'm using a Vox instead of my Mesa the shortcomings of the bridge pickup are especially apparent, so I think it's time for a change.

I'm thinking of doing a TV Jones Classic in the bridge and a Fralin regular noiseless 90 in the neck. I figure the TVJ will still sound full but with more inherent brightness and cut, and the regular neck p90 will have more strength to it than the alnico rod.

Thoughts? Suggestions?

I been buying various noiseless pickups, some Wilde pickups in my Bullet, I have some Fralin noiseless P90s in my Firebird, I have Kinmans in my Jazzmaster.

If I was buying another noiseless pickup in the future, it will be Kinman. I won't hesitate.

Ooo dang, I forgot about Kinmans. Seems like they have some options too. I'll check 'em out!

I actually have a JM with Fralin Noiseless JM pups (which as far as I can tell are really just noiseless P-90s) and a set of Kinman FatMasters in another JM. Both sound great. I think I slightly prefer the Kinmans, though. They sound REALLY close to a real JM pickup. The Fralins sound very good but are a little more "generic" sounding in a way.

I'm looking at other stuff too.... firebirds and minis and whatnot. Problem with pickups is I always get analysis paralysis

I've got a set of Mojotone quiet coil P90s. But I haven't installed them. My P90 LP is in Canada and I am in Australia. I actually bought a special from Japan but it is going to take ages to get here. Will try to post a review if it ever arrives

I'm running a Filtertron in the bridge of my Jagmaster and a Fralin P92 in the neck. I love it, but if i had to do it again, I might go with a TV Jones Classic or Powertron. The combo of the Fralin P92 and the Filtertron are so magical that I think it will become my default combo for the next few guitars I build. The mix of the fat, bell like tones of the Fralins, combined with the klang of the filtertrons, is incredible. I've never liked a bridge pickup for clean tones until the filtertron!
