Post by: Stefanio on December 16, 2007, 02:07:54 PM: Well i am new in BK pickups

I have this Epiphone Les Paul STD
which need new pickups, the originals are to lame

so i play the classic rock/blues stuff, zeppelin,stones,GN'R , clapton and with a little punk

Post by: Ted on December 16, 2007, 09:34:23 PM: Mules would be able to capture a whole range of stuff above.

I just tossed out the Rebel Yells cuz from Steve Steven's sticky clip, I could totally see them doing great punk stuff as Stefanio had mentioned.

Post by: _tom_ on December 16, 2007, 11:14:59 PM: I'd go for Mules. I have them in my Epiphone LP and a Rebel Yell in my strat, and the Mule'd LP sounds so much better - Rebel Yell is a bit too "modern" sounding for my tastes and has loads more output.

Post by: indysmith on December 16, 2007, 11:52:53 PM: I think you'll like it - very nice PAF flavour pickup that will nail all your classic rock and bluesy needs, whilst still having the power in the mids to push through and give some oomph to your punk.
