Guitar Mod | Harley Benton with the HOTTEST P-90 pickup in the world

- čas přidán 8. 09. 2024
- Measuring a whopping 60KΩ, this must be the highest output P-90 pickup in the world. I mod the Harley Benton DC FAT with one of the cutomshop pickups from Ruebezahl Pickups.

the original pickup sounds a little bright like a p90 is supposed to. The hot pickup sounds like it's trying to sound like a humbucker, no longer the P90 sound.
Yeah
Exactly what I just said to myself lol
DIsappointed - I was expecting FLAMES. MAN, FLAMES!
So was I…. Must try harder
Being a HUGE Doom / Sludge fan... that pickup sounds mint.
That nasal mid in a P90 with the high frequency rolled off a bit (which is what happens with high output pickups) sounds crazy good.
Would love to hear this pick up through an HM2 / HM2 clone. Maybe if Boss send you the Waza HM2 you could use this guitar in the demo? WOULD ENJOY.
Sounds like a great plan
Definitely louder, sounds fuller, more power! I l’m a sucker for P90’s but that thing is awesome!
Stock HB P90 sounds great. 60k P90 pickup is interesting and got the red guitar playing nicely again but I wouldn't swap the Roswell out of the blue one.
I agree, isn't the idea of a P90 to be like a teleon steroids - not thrashymetal?
Jupp ... had the same experience with "overwound" P90 ... loss of definition!
So i do prefer the "low output" PU * TubeScreamer approach.
Thanks a lot for sharing.
You’re welcome dude. The pickup is crazy
I do the same as Matze R basically, stock output P90 through a Tube Works Tube Driver in front of amp. Sounds better there than inserting after preamp. But a 60k P90 is trying to sound like something else. It sounds good though. What about a 16k P90 you could also tap at about 8k, for the bridge? But either/both positions I suppose. Just thoughts. Nice job!
yeah! 40k subscribers! Congratulations!
I thought they were both good for different scenarios, but this was literally the only pickup shootout I have ever heard where I could actually hear a difference through youtube compression. Thanks
The roswell sounds more like a p90 should sound, clear and bright.
Yeah man! You hit 40k!
Great video. Big tone difference. way better then stock. Blessings.
You should not confuse DC resistance with output volume. It depends on the gauge of wire used, as well as the number of turns in the coil. Other factors include the inductance and the type of magnets used.
Yay, you hit the 40K already! Congrats, Andy. And a big thanks to Mr Ruebetzahl on making such a ridiculous pickup. At first I thought it was just a wind-up.
😞
Sorry, that was bad. Where's me coat, I'd better go 'ohm'.
That make me snort! Thanks mate
Puns like that will meet no resistance from me!
@@davepatterson4774 Ooh, that hurt. But in a good way.
I've gotta FAT 59 and I'm very Happy with it.. 🤔🔥
Sounds great, I like it. Sounds compressed but beefy too. Rock on 🤘
Beefy is exactly the word I should have used! Thank
You!
As Robert McCabe comments, kohms (resistance) doesn't directly equal output, though is an indicator.
The resistance may increase because of more turns in the pickup which would result in increased inductance - > output, but not necessarily in a linear fashion, but fewer turns with finer wire would also have higher resistance, and the magnets used will also have an effect.
Either way, fun experiment (even if I preferred the Roswell 😁).
Original sounds the best 👍👍😎
This is seriously making me consider a Harley Benton.
Reubezahl!
Go for it dude. I’ve bought 2. 1 Les Paul Special and a LP JR DC. They are both fantastic. Really good guitars stock and can be great with a few mods. Nut and tuners were solid and didn’t need upgrading. Pickups were okay. The only thing I felt “needed” upgrading were the pots and electronics.
They make an EMG 81 that is P90 sized, as well as the option of Dimarzio Super Distortion in P90 dimensions. Either would do a better job at what that pickup does, in a nowhere near real, P90 tone type for high gain. That said, it was a really cool idea!
Sabbath intro, just follow with some cool power cords. Iommi-fied.
Thanks for this demo. HUGE difference. I love HB guitars, except for their stock Roswells PUPs.
If you are going to use this playing style, try playing Danzig 'i'm tired of being alive' or 'twist of cain' and 'under her black wing'. !
You are spelling it 100% right, very cool PU Mr. Rübelzahl.
I have got to get one of those DC juniors. I want one sooooo bad.
they are sickeningly good
You can always make a lower pickup sound "Hotter" by amp usage or pedals, but try to make a Hot pickup sound cleaner. Harder to do. I'll stick with lower output to mid range pickups any day. Most of the vintage Gibson P90's were not all that powerful compared to today's winds. Yet they sounded great.
Hi Andy, great idea and a lot of fun. I always like guitar mod videos. And as I consider buying the DC FAT in faded cherry, it's also good to see how the guitar looks inside! Very nice. Thanks! Killer tone on the SV with the stock pu! Cheers!
This is a super high quality channel. You're doing great, Andy. 40k! Woohoo!
Sounds great 👍 merry Christmas bless you 🙏 my friend ❤
What's up with the string spacing on the B-string? Seems off by several millimeters
I just noticed that and came to the comments to check hahahaha. I guess he misplaced the string on the bridge.
Ruebezahl!
Well spotted. I couldn't play a guitar with the string misplaced like that, I'd feel that the string wasn't where my fingers expected it.
The *Ruebezahl* reminds me a little of the Chopper T I put in my Tele. I love it.
Happy 40k! Now that’s fire. 🔥
Just got my HB SC Jr in pellam blue. Absolutely love it. I haven't decided if I'm going to change anything but the tuning machines yet.
Ruebezahl. The pickup sounds great. Thx for the video. Cheers
Sorry, the original pickup wins. I'm afraid the new one sounds like someone trying to talk with mouthful of peanut butter. Love the channel. Keep up the good work.
2:04 "some sort of writing here..." lol
I have an HB DC Jr, although I swapped the Roswell pickup for a Seymour Duncan Antiquity. Very happy with it, although the original pickup was good too. The DC Jr was very well set up out of the box; really good value for money (€200). My tech who fitted the pickup really liked it too.
Thanks for sharing! How does the SD perform? How did the sound change?
Forget the coil impedance for a minute. Try measuring the output in millivolts the way DiMarzio does. The characteristics of the magnet and the physical mechanics of the bobbin etc. really matters a lot.
Ruebezahl Andy! Ruebezahl. The stock Roswell Pup sounds nice with plenty of high end bite and twang but the Ruebezahl frequency range has gone to pot.
I like it!
Been looking for an SG or Double cut, Single P90 guitar for a bit... Not an easy task for us Lefties... Though HB only offers the double cut version in TV yellow, they Do have the SG version in cherry red (IMO,The Only Correct Color of an SG) Harley Benton for the Win !!
a killer Pickup from Chris, as always !
I'm driving the Harley Benton MS classic at the moment and it feels about midway between twin humbuckers and single coil strat so no surprises there then ....less noisy than the Strat for sure but has a certain growl to it
Rübezahl! Great and fun experiment. For certain applications, it does sound amazing!
Glad you think so!
Woohoo 40k congrats 👏....happy birthday 🎂🥳
Congratulations on 40k Andy. I kinda like the anarchy of it. You never know until you try 😀👍👍👍❤️
Reubezahl 😀
5:30 - i’d recommend googling “ single pick up 50s WIRING“ to try and squeeze out some sort of clarity on this monster!
Amazing video 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 ‘ruebezahl’ 🤘🏻👍🏻
Great vid, BTW the H string at the red guitar is out of the saddle :D
I have a P94 with 30kOhm from Rübezahl, with the possibility to tap the coil for a „original“ P94 sound. It sounds amazing too.... chris had magic hands....
Ruebetzahl ….sounds good
Rubzan (this is russian guitarists joke sort of)
Ruebezahl !!! I have to admit though, at least for me, I liked the original better, and I think it will cut through a mix better. But this was a very cool experiment!
40k, Happy Birthday!!
The second clip (no talking) is best for comparison, the hot p90 is definitely louder,fatter,.....but i prefer the Roswell one....at the end of the day,it's all personal preference ...
I love sludge metal and i play a pig90 in the bridge of a special and my sonex and I love it
Rubitz Al!
Yeah enjoyed the video I have the Harley Benton SC-550 Paradise Amber Flame Delux Series Les Paul but For years I've always wanted a Les Paul Jnr with a P90, so after watching your video might end up selling the Les Paul for the Jnr, for the money Harley Benton are great value for the money (ruebezahl).
I'm,58yrs old this kid is pretty cool ,smart, rocks not scared to get electrocuted to death! None of my daughter's son-in-laws come that close! Keep up the good work
Thanks! I’ve had enough electric shocks to not be bothered by them now 😂
@@TheGuitarGeek just keep up the good work! I heard some music from the future and It was vomit on toast! Keep your ax sharp if what you listen to doesn't remind of why you love music do not let it die slow! A QUICK death for worthless noises!
( I love that line from SLIPKNOT, AND I BELIEVE IN IT., I WILL NOT SUBJECT MY SELF TO SELECTED PREDICTABLE NOISES) BELIEVE IN IT, TO!
I like them both. But now I want a Jr. Damn…lol
Wooow...lest rock n roll man..sound very good bro...👍👍👍👍
Congrats on hitting 40k, good luck with the stretch goals. Are subs like age? Because age is just a number.
You are right. 40 is a nice, round number though
That pickup sounds and IS beefy. 🥩
I prefer the Roswell Pickup.
It sounds great!
Sal: what should I do, again?
Me: roob it, Sal!
Sal: OK! Roobing it!
...
🤷
Rrrrrrrübezahlllll. Isse fätt.
hey rübezahl, congrats to 40k subs!
Thank you!
I see the 40k what w wonderful day for a pickup with 60k...
Happy birthday grand supreme Geek of all the 40k 🤗🤗🤗🤗😃🎂🍨🥃🍦🤗🤗🤗🤗👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🤘🏽
Thanks Poo ❤️
No, Thank You. You have brought me untold hours of merriment since I first DeathMetal acostinked for the goodie bag you sent me. ( i’m still using the strap locks)
I wish I hadn’t deleted and restarted my channel so many times... I may have to redo that vid soon.
Have a great birthday Sir
Rubisal I’m just now at the end of the video
Rubensall. Yeah that’s not spelled right. I’m surprised a 60k pickup can even be heard. I’ve never heard of that hot of a pickup. Insane. Congrats on 40k!
i like the fatness of the rübezahl it has more bass, low mids, mids and nicer highs!
Hi ruberSal, I prefer the stock version
Congrats to 40.000 subs!!! 👍👍👍👍
Oh, i forgot... "rubert Sal" ... hahaha ... your subtitles are really funny!
But because it's a serious thing to watch your videos to the end, here come the serious phrase for proving me being in the end of the video club: Rübezahl.
ahhha!!!
40K subscribers ... Thanks Reubezahl !
i like the benton one!
I actually liked the high gain one. It's grizzier and dirtier, but that's the point
Sounds amazing....
Yeah Ruebezahl, hahaha! Well I just like the Ferris blue one anyway
Hahahah thanks
Damnit!!! For a moment I thought I was going to have to buy another P90 guitar for that pickup. Then it hit me. I have a project guitar...🤔
The original will cut better in a live mix. The new one has a little more low end. The Roswell stacked P90 has a unique sound. I own this guitar and a JA 60 OW. I have a large guitar collection so I play a lot of high end guitars. I enjoy Harley Benton's. When I gig I'm loading out a 1 AM in the morning, I refuse to take my vintage Les Paul's out to play a Bar and Grill or Pub. Good way to get ripped off and mugged at your truck. Everyone knows the value of high end guitars these days because of CZcams. Los Angeles
Sounds pretty Bad-ass!!! 🤘👽🤘👁👁🤘👽
i want to put both pickups in a les paul (epiphone... money dont grow on trees). i imagine rolling the tone a bit on the 60ohm pickup, then using a 16ohm bridge tone way up. and messing with the volume on both.
Red pretzel? Ruben snail? No idea...but heck thats a fat pick up on a HB DC fat!
I really like both. Ideally, I'd like something that sits about right in the middle between the RUEBEZAHL and the Roswell. I just ordered a faded blue DC and I'll probably put a Lollar in it, as they're awesome and local for me. I just checked out the Ruebezahl site, and I look forward to when they're taking orders again.
hey Andy I knew it would be a Ruebetzahl day I had three eggs this morning for brecky! Not being a heavy guy to me the stock Roswell just carried that sweet tone that is rock. I guess the Ruebetzahl for me loses the P90 sound so why not just fit a humbucker and have done.
Ruebezahl DOOMS!
Just... Wow. 😳🎸
The hot Rrrrrruebezahl P90 has a sort of cocked wah element to it to my ears. Could be just my speakers though, will have another listen through my good headphones later. Good review, I own that red HB, might have to do the same thing you did here :)
It really sounds fun. I’m sure Chris will help you.
cool
wow! happy 40k!
Thanks brother
@@TheGuitarGeek and of course, Happy Birthday!
Can anyone tell me what that gold single pickup guitar hanging on the wall is?
I can! It’s a dc coupe from prestige
“R U B E Z H A L!”
I may be in the minority but I would prefer a more vintage tone with the pup and use a pedal if that is not enough.
a smaller cap on the tone pot might just be the thing for that mush
The new pup is girthier. sounds great. I want it in my HB DC Jr. I was thinking doom metal and even some old sabbath. Tony used SG's with P90's early on.
It is SO full on. Contact Chris. I’m sure he’ll help
@@TheGuitarGeek Already checked out the site. they'd currently not taking orders. i'll get to him tho
I have a feeling you might not be playing in its full potential. higher ohms also means you might need more power. kinda like a dac for high ohms headphone
Rip the tone knob out and wire it straight to the jack. That's what I do with a mudbucker.
🍺☀️☮︎Ruebezahl☮︎☀️🍺
What the heck did you do with the B string... placed out of spot! Was the bridge broken too?
Great sounding pickup. Might be a good candidate for a project. Looking for a hot 'not a Humbucker' for the neck position. Great tips on installing and wiring too mate. I wish I could solder that quick. :)
Good call! hahaha
If you happen to wander into quicksand with your P90 guitar, those are likely the last muddy tones you might hear. But who cares at that point? I would play that until the end, so...
Being using Specials and Jrs forever. Whats coming out online sounds great. Not sure it would be good for all around playing. (Rhythm, Leads, etc) but very interesting. What I do like is these Harley jrs. Like to try one
Ruebezahl!!!
The stock pick up sounds like a toy cheap, in first moment sound good but compared with the other woaaa, the other pick up make this guitar sounds like a Gibson!!!!
