What is the opinion of removing the stock p-90's from my Epi Casino and installing Humbuckers??
I have a SG with Humbuckers and play Blues luv it big time no noise unless I choose to put it there. My Casin has the single coil pickups it came with P90's with techs looking at it and all other troubleshooting exhausted I can seem to get rid of the occasional popping that comes thru the Casino. I am understanding that Humbuckers cancel out all the crap where it is quite normal for single coil pickups to catch all the crap. I want to maintain the hollow body blues sound but get rid of the crap what about humbuckers to do that???

The noise coming from single coils is usually more of a hum than a popping sound, in my experience. But I'm all for making improvements and I think you'd be happy with humbuckers in your Casino.

can anyone offer advice to which Humbuckers to fit the covers on the P90's in my Casin. Also if for no other reason than the [pops I hear thru my amp or any othe amp that have been narrowed down to the location of my house and transmitters around my house, what is the thought on a Boss NS 2 for noise??
