Alan Enrwistle has sent me a description of the new pick ups featured on the new Bison Ultrasound as below

Well they are in P90 covers, but they have alnico 5 rod magnets, a different wire gauge and DCR to most P90's, i suppose they are closer to a Jazzmaster pickup, than a P90

It's a pity this wasn't made but the new ones are made to a low budget. I like the chrome jaguar style plate on this one

I don't think that's a chrome plate - look in the shadows of the knobs....

Chas I think you may well be right at my age eyesight or brain not functioning as it did. A nice idea though

Changed my mind, I thought they were like the black one with the Rezo Matic trem.

I'm not too bothered about it not having a Rez o tube. What does concern me is that it is a new design tremolo made in China - untested over here. I would have thought though Alan Enrwistle will have fully evaluated it. However I won't buy without try. Trouble is Sutherlands not very good at getting them into stockists
