james90 Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 You might still like them. I liked their distorted tones a lot. They just didn't have the best clean sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimboMansonMB-1 Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 shit.... its too late i ordered the MBK3's.......... MFC and I are just talking personal taste, don't worry! If you want one of your PRSs to have a heavier sound, which is what I understand, you should be ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny021 Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 I feel sure he'll have his tech do it! hahaha yessir, I'm more of a player than a techie If worst comes to worst, I'll swap them back and sell the MKB3's on ebay and get the MKB2's. I hope it doesn't resort to that tho lol. I'll be wasting a lot of money. Obviously there are pickups that sound great clean and dirty (I have single coil pickups on my strat that sound AWESOME clean and GREAT with some dirt. Also the pickups on my PRS's sound great clean or dirty.) so I may be over generalizing here, but pickups that sound good clean, don't sound as good as pickups that sound bad clean. That sentence sounds kinda confusing, let me rephrase in a VERY BROAD general statement. Hot pickups = sound awesome dirty, but don't sound great clean Clean pickups = sounds awesome clean, but don't sound as good dirty as a hot pickup would Also quick question - Would the MKB1 (P90) fit in a regular size humbucker slot?

Bs Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 You could always just fit the bridge pickup first, and find a balance between cleans in the neck pickup you already have and the MBK3 in the bridge, if you're not sure about the cleans on that? That's what my custom should be like anyway. Nice bluesy sound in the neck. Huge crunchy distortion at the bridge. Lovely stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't necessarily agree with this as I get awesome cleans from my MBK-2... seems to be a really versatile pup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did mention this was a very broad general statement. I even mentioned in the sentence I have pick ups that sound good clean or dirty.

james90 Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 I don't see him rushing to defend himself - he's just making it clear that it was a very broad general statement, and Will_ didn't quote that part of his post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny021 Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 why are you rushing to defend your self? we aren't trying to argue with you... I wasnt, I was just clarifying -_- He took a part of my post and disregarded my entire sentences prior to. I even said there are pick ups that sound good clean and dirty and he says he disagrees with my broad statement cuz his mkb2 sound good clean and is versatile. It's like he didn't even read my post and just read the stuff with = signs and assumed thats what i was saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardly something to get worked up over And even if it was a "very broad" statment... I'm still allowed to disagree with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
