Tele neck pickup comparison - Oripure P90 vs Oripure traditional

- A quick demo of 2 sets of pickups both from Oripure. Always wanted to try out a P90 in a normal Tele neck position and here I get to compare against a more traditional neck Tele pickup.
Check out Oripure pickups at www.iknmusic.com
Great song choices can’t ever find comparisons with styles I play
After modding a korean squire with PAF in neck, started to build my own guitars, mostly reclaimed pine, and have now a double P90’s, mostly sort of Gibson sounding, as well as one with P90 in neck, and alnico 5 in bridge. Interesting fuller sounds out of them indeed, great guitars!
Nice video. Thanks. The tone of the single is amazing.
It's funny but on the recording the single Tele neck pup does sound better but in the room the P90 did it for me. 🤷♂️ Thanks for watching!
I have a 93 mexican telecaster with the single coils. I love it, but the neck pickup not as much. It's the o sound it gives off at higher frets on higher strings. I don't plan on changing the guitar because it was my first and I love it, but I plan on getting another and putting a p90 in it. It feels like they would blend together a bit better in the middle position with the clarity of the p90 rounding out the twang of the single coil a little bit.
@@Michaelangelokowski you won't regret it!
Love the Tele’s! I purpose built a parts Tele with Tone Rider hot P90’s. Gotta say….one of my favorite guitars I’ve ever played.
Did you put 500k pots in the p90 modded tele or is it with 250k? (Doing this myself and don't want to have to change the pots)
@DevinSpagnola You should get away with leaving the existing 250k pots but I did go 500k in this instance as I wanted more clarity for the P90. They do prefer 500k. Good luck
Me encantó la prueba de sonido con "Where is my mind". Ya soy todo un señor, dios mio...
That's a great sounding P90, specially for the neck position. The one I got on my Les Paul sounds super boomy
Did you get a bridge designed one or a neck designed one?
@@Michaelangelokowski It's the stock pickups that come with the Gibson Tribute series, so I don't really know. However, I finally managed to get a balanced sound out of it: I adjusted the pole pieces height individually so that the high E, B and G strings are much more closer to the magnets. It's sounding great now :)
@BluesBrogio that's good! I plan on getting a second tele soon and getting some p90's for it, or a p-rail from seymour duncan
@@Michaelangelokowski With the rail design you won't get adjustable pole pieces, but that might not be a problem at all, I guess Seymour Duncan have their pickups balanced from factory... unlike Gibson 😂
@BluesBrogio yeah seymour duncan typically has their things in line. Plus, I could always adjust the angle of the pickup with the height screws if need be. I have a Tele with 48's-11's but I plan on the next one being a 42-9 set guitar.
Trick is matching the bridge pickup output. Roughly, considering same magnet types and wire gauge in the coils, about 20% more d.c. resistance on the bridge than the P90 neck.
I've got a staple P90 in the neck at about 8.6K, I came up on 3 contenders for the bridge: SD Quarter pound, Fender Twisted Tele and the cheapest Fender Tele set, the Deluxe Drive. Hated the Q.P., Twisted was too mid heavy, Deluxe in a plastic bobbin with no baseplate won the day, total upset. Scooped mids, doesn't get swamped by the P90 in center position. And ou can still tell it'sTele
Nice comparison, I've been really curious to know how a P90 in the neck would sound. Do you notice a big volume difference when switching pickupd? How's the middle position?
There is more push from the extra winds in a P90 so balancing them requires raising or lowering each pickup to your taste. My bridge pickups are more in the hot side in any case (Iron Gear Steel Foundry) so they match up great. Middle position is plumby as normal 😎🤟👍
You literally buy a Tele for the unique bridge / neck lipstick pickup. P90's can go in any guitar you have lying around. Dont ruin your Telecaster with mods. The best thing about a Telecaster is it being a Tele. If you want the polar opposite, get an SG and a Tele and then just be happy.
@Harzurner - interesting comment ..... each to their own, I suppose.
Can't beat those single coils ........If I wanted a P90 I would have bought an LP
Oripure AlnicoV? O Alnico2? O Cerámica?
Alnico 5, both of them
Nice review...what pots are you using 500k? or 250k?
Hi, for this setup I used 250k pots 😎👍
Thx Adey, well done ;)
Thank you too!
Can someone please tell me what the song at 3:17 is called?
Where is my mind - Pixies
Hi, is the P90 the alnico 2 or 5? Thanks
It is A5 👍
are the pickups microphonic?
Not at all, what makes you say that?
@@adey_baby That is amazing! I asked because some chinese pickups are microphonic, and on a video talking about chinese pickups (in a good way) they didn't mention if Oripure pickups were microphonic
sorry the weird question lol
@@ricardog.s2505 I stumbled across this brand of Oripure by accident but now they are my go-to for a wide range of pickup types. All waxed potted, great sound and very affordable. Their cheaper brand, Fleor, are awesome too!
@@adey_baby Wow! I didn't knew Fleor was a brand of Oripure! Fleor are amazing, so Oripure must be too, thanks!
Hear me out, add a center P90 and a 5 way to a conventional Tele pickup layout....
Have you done this and what was the result?
@@adey_baby Unfortunately no I have not... Its something I am considering though, I feel like the pickups would match well when blended and obviously all the good from them individually..
@@shaadydog1 I had the 3 pickup Chinese Fender Tele with a humbucker in the bridge and a stat middle and a Tele neck but never gelled with it. Not really in to the quack sound although I have a modded Yamaha PAC212VFM if I ever need it! Lol
