Definitely Irish Tour, for a more agressive sound or in a warmer sounding guitar you can try 300K or even 500K pots. For sounds like Lenny or Riviera Paradise, though, or if you use really heavy strings, you could also use a Mothers Milk set. :)

Thanks guys,  

I am going to buy a SRV replica body and place 1988 maple neck/rosewood fretboard that i have lying around.  This guy made it as a luthier project and it looks real nice.  I do have a set of irish tours on a HSS jackson so when i have the house to myself i'll crank up the amp and see what kind of SRV tones i can get.  I have 10's on the jackson.  When i get the SRV body the thickest i think i will go is 11's.  I dont plan on tuning down a half step because i hate the hassle.
