Tokia Les Paul Standard Japan BKP Choice?

[AndyR]

Yep, hoorah for the Mule bridge :lol:

I think what it is is that those of who have it don't shout about it too much - it just is what it is and it kind of does whatever you throw at it. It's just so "right" that we assume everyone must know it!

I have to admit that, with humbuckers, when I say stuff like "I love the so-and-so neck", neck humbuckers are just complementary to the bridge for me. I use them quite a lot, but I set my amp tones for what's coming out of the bridge and middle position.

So, to qualify what I said earlier about loving the Mule and Riff Raff necks - "I just ADORE the bridge pickups" :lol: (My preference at the moment is the Mule, but that can vary with time... eg when I get round to cleaning up and restring the SG with the Riff Raffs in.)

Boom.

Trigger pulled.

A Black Dog bridge and Riff Raff neck.

Sorry AndyR, not neglecting your advice. I have the Mules in another LP, so this was for some variety really.
Maybe we should set up a Mule bridge apreciation thread.  :P

[AndyR]

Cool :D

We'll be interested on hearing how it suits you.

No worries, didn't feel like you were neglecting advice - in fact, I didn't feel like I was giving advice at the end there, just theorising on why people don't shout about the Mule bridge so much :lol:

Early on I was fairly certain BD/RR was what you ought to go for, especially when you let on you already had the Mules working nice in another guitar.

All you've got to do now is figure out how to dispose of the rancid pickups in an environmentally friendly manner (and go easy on the disinfectant in the Tokai! :lol:)

Funny thing about disposing of the pickups, they are worth a few quid to someone. Probably get €90 for the pair of Seymours. So that is going to pay for some of the BKP replacement cost.  8)

Congrats! I didn't know you already had Mules, otherwise I would not have contributed that extensively. Anyway, I like the character of all my BKP's. They're all different and that's fun. Never had the BD though.
