Im having trouble deciding.. I have a PRS hollow body 1. Want a little more growl out of it than the stock pickups. But i do not want to go too bright.
Looking for the AC-DC sound.. Malcolm, more so.. I have put in an order for Mules, but..... Riff Raff...??? What do you guys think?
Using a Tiny terror, orange 1x12 cab. Tube screamer..
Thanks.

Not too bright?
-
For guys who have tried both pickups, which is brighter? The AV mule or the Riff Raff? I'm asking about bridge pickups of course :)
-
riff raff is VERY bright
-
The Mule is quite bright as well, maybe Crawler would work for you! I have them in an LP, not bright at all.

Malcolm's sound is a Gretsch Jet with Filtertrons. It's a guitar that sits right in between hollow and solid body and has a pickup that sits right in between humbucker and single coil.
A Riff Raff or Mule will make you sound more like Angus.
I'd look at the Mississippi Queen.

That and I have nowhere near his rhythm or ability.
Have a set of Queens that I like but, hate to say it, they sound too clean in this guitar. Which i found odd for a P90 type pickup. Think i will let the order stand, and if its not the sound... Off i go again. Guess thats part of the fun, chasing that sound in your head..
Thanks for the input guys.

Mules or Crawlers for a sligthly less bright topend.
-
Mules will be excellent, don't worry :)
-
For me riff raffs are a brighter sounding pickup. In a mahogany bodyed guitar they absolutly nail acdc. I do not know enough on a prs holllowbody guitars to comment on if raff raffs would be too bright in that type of guitar. One thing is for sure though a set of mules or riff raffs will be a real treat!

As I was reading down the thread, I felt a big +1 to this:
A Riff Raff or Mule will make you sound more like Angus.
I'd look at the Mississippi Queen.
But with the posts following it, especially as you've already tried the MQs, I reckon I'll join in on the chorus of you're probably gonna be ok with Mules.

I had mules in a LP alike. The bridge is a great, great pickup. I wasn't too sold on the neck unit - I found it a little wooly for my liking although this could have been my installation skills!
-
riff raffs probably would be a slightly better choice for the tone you want... but the A5 Mule bridge is my favourite BKP, so :) :) :)
