Question NOOB: Tell Me About Axis Super Sport MM90s please

[jisham]

I'm a newbie here for the most part although I've lurked off and on. I just bought a regular Axis from a forum member here and am, well, totally blown away it. Seems like after a long long search for the right brand, I've finally found it with EBMM guitars.

Since the Axis covers the bucker tones, I'm thinking I want my next purchase to be an ASS MM90 (is that the right acronym LOL -- I get confused here but will catch up I suppose). Anyway, if any owners could chime in on them, I'd love to hear what you guys think.

I found a couple of threads here raving about the MM90 pickups, and I'm thinking one of these will be a great complement to my Axis.

Thanks!

BTW, here's my Axis (pic via original owner):

MM90's are great. I have only ever played an AL with MM90's, but lots of folks here love them MM90 in the ASS. Rob posted a video recently of an ASS w/MM90's. I can't remember the artist though.

The MM90 ASS is the perfect compliment to the Axis. (note my avitar). I'll add that an SSS Al is the next complimentary piece in the puzzle.

I have a blue one and I like the MM90s very much. I play blues and they're absolutely ideal....they also look very cool.....watch this with the mute button engaged!!

They are sweet tone makers. I love this one but I am going to sell it if I can ever get around to posting it in the for sale section. It just never gets played and that is a shame

Guys - i've seen that the Axis SS has HH and MM-90 version. having read the threads, the MM-90 seems to be one i prefer (i'll find both to try anyway). Then, how do i differentiate the two versions at the stores? Thank you.

At the risk of becoming "Mr. Obvious" - the MM-90 version has MM-90 pickups and the HH version has humbucker pickups. In all honesty anyone should be able to tell them apart quite easily.
