Nope...you need single coils to get that. Not only that, you need one reverse-wound like the middle strat pup. So 2 P90s (or a P90 and humbucker) will not get you there....except perhaps with one of the 2 P90s reverse-wound.
You're discovering one of the truisms of guitar music....one axe is never enough!! :D
I've been researching and the combinations that give the 'quack' are half the bridge humbucker with either the neck or middle pickup. From what I read they can be connected either in series or parallel and still give the quack.
What is reverse wound? Can't I just switch the wires if that's the case? Or if the magnetic poles need to be opposite can I just install it upside down?

I've got a strat copy I'd like to get rid of and a another guitar with dual humbuckers that I'm looking to upgrade a little.
Thing is I really like the quacky sound I was getting from the strat, run through a cheap amp, for a couple of songs. Can I wire humbuckers to give me this sound and what kind of pups would you recommend? I was also thinking of putting P90's in another dual humbucker I have, but could I use one P90 and one humbucker and get that sound?
Sorry if this is a dumb question but I've never cared much about tones before now.
