I have two guitars one with a Mule (strat style) and one with a Rebel Yell ( Music man Axis style), for an other guitar I'm looking for a pickup set that sits between the two. The mule has a little two much top end that can take your head off, the Rebel Yell not quite enough and can sound a little muddy (although great for high gain 80s power chords).
Any recommendations

If you’re open to a humbucker size P90, the humbucker size Supermassive may do the trick. I use one in 93 Hamer Special, and I’ve used the Mule, which I like, but I can understand your pov on it.
The Supermassive can have good cut without being overly trebly.

maybe the bkp emerald?

I'd say this is the Black Dog to a T. Smoother top end, mids that feel very much like the Mules' but more so, not quite as upper-mid focused as the Rebel Yell.
Definitely not the Emerald; the bridge is much tamer in the mids than even the Mule. Its thing is harmonic richness and low-end control, and if you don't like the presence/high end on the Mule, that's still very much part of the Emerald's character.

Abraxas?
In my experience the Black Dog sounds nothing like the Mule nor Rebel Yell
