P tone pickup on a combustion 4 string

I'd imagine the Dingwal FD3 P-tone would fit that perfectly. But I have zero experience with it, so I don't know how close it gets you. It's just high on my "want to try" list...That, or the Super P, if they ever make a Combustion version of it. Maybe they'd sell you the Super P pickups? Might require some extra routing, but would probably get you even closer. Finally, I wonder if just any old P pickup would fit in there...

 

The P-tone sounds kind of like a single coil P pickup. It doesn't really sound like a split coil P in my opinion. I have one in the neck position on my ABZ4. I do much prefer the P-tone over the stock FD-3 though.

 

Good to know that + it helps with unneeded GAS I suppose in the end, soapbars physically cannot house two large enough coils to do the P thing. Plus, I wonder how much the extra scale length(s) influence the sound, especially on the EA side.

 

I only played BigSingles, but its similarly not convincing as a split P. It's designed to sound like "jazz on steroids", and BigSplits are just a humcancelling version. I remember reading Nordstrand thinks their Dual Coil sounds most like a P, but I could be wrong. That said, BigSplit might be a great option nevertheless.
