Humbucker-sized P90 recs?

Curious to hear if anyone has a HB-sized P90 that they like? It seems that these are generally regarded as not sounding like a "true" P90, but I don't have any P90 experience.

I'm looking for something that has more grit than a single coil, but less output and bass than the humbuckers I have. Guitar is a EBMM Axis Super Sport with the DiMarzio EVH pickups.

Thanks!
 
I have some Duncan Phat cats in an Ibanez jazz box style guitar. It’s not my most used guitar but it has a very nice warm clean voice with the volume back and some bite with it all the way up. Less trebly than my Strat but that might be the guitar too. Dirty does an excellent blues/Jimmy page type thing and with high gain it can do some chuga chuga type stuff, especially in the hum canceling mid position. I’ve considered that I might prefer the Duncan p rails that are basically a p90 and Strat pickup put together on a humbucker. I think they would be flexible wired on a 3 way switch for each voice.
 
I've always liked the gfs dream 90s ones in my baritone. I especially endorse them for you since you aren't looking for something that's exactly like real deal p90s. They do not suck.
