ah yes, i thought so, MQ is Alnico 4 aint it.  I knew i wanted a manhattan and tim recommended the mule as a good match

anyway, i did have a couple of you tube videos, done on the digicam so not great quality but both start with the Manhattan and switch to the mule

Well I'll say it again as much of this is arm chair opinion and I own and play the combo referred to - an AIV MQ neck goes very very well with a AIV Mule bridge - with all due respect to Tom, who is an outstanding member of this site, his opinion is mistaken.

Well I havent actually tried a MQ with Mule bridge but my MQ neck EASILY keeps up with my pig 90 bridge, which sounds hotter than my bridge Mule in the Epi. It can overpower the pig 90 if its not lowered to be level with the surround.. but then again the neck mule is sort of the same compared to bridge so its probably just neck pickups in general.

Neck pickups in general tend to be louder, wider and thicker, especially the ones with AIV winding.
