I recently bought a 2000, Axis Super Sport MM90 guitar (have a modded Gibson faded and a tele). The original MM90 pickups had been replaced with a set of mini-humbuckers (probably Dimarzio's of some sort), with a 5 way switch. I have come to understand that it is nearly impossible to buy a set of the original MM90's so I like to ask forum members for pickups suggestions. The mini-humbuckers in the guitar are a little hot for my tastes but they were a drop in fit - a must. I might keep the mini-humbucker setup I have now, but I'm leaning to converting the guitar back to P90's with a 3 way switch. I am a fossil who like mainly classic rock, country rock and blues. What are your suggestions?

They're out there, just not a lot of them. I sold a pair once and recently had a pair offered to me for a project I was working on but I decided to go in another direction. They may still be available...
Good luck in your search...

I was the one Fred was referring too with some for sale but I ended up re installing them and well they are not going anywhere
I had some killer EMG passive P92 HZ and P91 HZ installed, to me awesome tone.
PM me for details may have some laying around

Just gotta poke around. Keep your eye on ebay and of course here.
Thanks for the useful feedback. I'll keep trolling I guess, but I'm sure some have tried other P90's like Lollars, Fralins, etc. in an ASS & I was hoping for some a/b comparisons. As for our so very clever (and literate too!) coldsummer and his bum chum Tollie, Im just curious. I asked ask for specific information on this forum on a topic , and obviouly neither of you two have anything to offer but your asinine remarks, nor do you seem interested in the question I posed. So why the **** are you reading my post in the first place. What's wrong numb-nuts, nothing else to do? Here a tip for you, get a life (and Tolle you should get one too, but only after coldsummer tells it's OK).

Hello
Back to the initial topic ...
I own an ASS with the original MM90 pickups. It's a great guitar.
If you already own guitars with humbuckers, some P90 pickups can add some variety to your sound.
I was really surprised that the MM90 pickups were so versatile (in my mind, P90 pickups was a bit for old school rock).
Thus, try to put some P90. I guess the DiMarzio can be a good start.

Hey thanks fbecir. I do have a LP with a split pair of BG Pups wonderful BG Buckers, and a classic tele. The ASS was going to be my P90 guitar. I've also never had an experience with mini-humbuckers - they seem to have their own sound, like a beefed up single coil. For aftermarket pickups I've become a big BG Pups fan so I emailed Bryan at BG Pups, and he said his new mini-buckers would be a drop in fit, not sure about his P90's. I'll probably go with one of BG's offering, but I will keep trying to find a pair of the original MM90's.

I'm not. He asked a sensible question so I was going to give some advice until I read his petulant responses so he got what he deserved. Quite restrained really.
