Title: Tele neck humbucker??
Post by: dbrewerjr on February 02, 2017, 01:57:57 AM

I'm thinking of putting a brown sugar bridge with either a riff raff or emerald hb in the neck.....
Has anyone had experience with thiz or any opinions?

My only thoughts on this were

1. The Emerald and Riff Raff necks are very different

2. The Emerald neck could overpower the Brown Sugar

I would consider instead one of the following: Riff Raff, Stormy Monday, or Mule.

You have heard clips of the RR neck?  Or just the bridge?  They are different pickups (all BKP sets are two different pickups)

You might want to consider the Mule if you are worried that the RR will be too bright.  It has a very good reputation as a neck pickup.

Thank you...
I heard a very short clip of the neck....I appreciate the suggestion......maybe the mule is the way to go...
I wanted a neck pickup that is more modern sounding for soke semi high gain blues... maybe i need to rergink...

Other neck pickups you might want to consider are the Stormy Monday humbucker and the Mississippi Queen and Blue Note humbucker-sized P-90s

Here's a Blue Note paired with a Flat 50.  The Blue Note in this video is in the soapbar P-90 format.
