Title: I just got & installed a set of BK Mule's!!
Post by: cousingrandpa on December 29, 2011, 05:59:34 PM: I have found tonal nirvana!! I just got these this morning & installed them in my R9, they are friggen amazing!! The Mule's have to be the best sounding pickups I have ever heard/played!! They are crisp, smooth & full with just the right amount if grit. The highs are glassy & perfect, mids thick & full & the bass is just right with NO mud what so ever even with the tone rolled all the way down. They handle as much drive as you can throw at them with no unwanted noise or feedback & they stay crisp & articulate.

That's exactly what I'd put in that guitar as well. I can just imagine what it feels like now :D

Thanks & it sounds as good as it looks!! I am waiting on some RS super pots then it will be complete, I already have the PIO caps in it.
