Any BL 290 Strat pu users? how do they compare to the 280's? more like a P90?
Pro's / con's?
Thanks

I have a 280N/280M/290L set up in my strat. Your P-90 reference is a good one-- maybe one-third P-90ish. Compared to the 280, the 290 bridge has enhanced mids/reduced brightness. I like my Bill Lawrence pups, but in my opinion, no noiseless pup will really give you true and complete single coil sound-- not better or worse, just different.
