Yeah I think Mules or VHII would work really well for you. VHII for a bit more midrange and a slightly more aggressive tone (at least thats the impression I got when I played em). I have loads of clips of a Mule set in my Les Paul, the clips are on this forum and theres a load in the link in my sig.

edit - have you tried lowering the pickups a bit? Might improve the tone a bit if they're currently too high..

They are very low. Any lower and the tone starts to get thin, and rather oddly, boomy. They sound excellent, just not what I'm looking for. The more I think, the more sensible the Mules sound.

Basically, for the type of music I play, the HDs are too tight maybe....

....I generally play Motley, Slash, Halen, that sort of thing. The HDs are really aimed at the more metal player I think.

The RY bridge is really tight too.  It's great, but I don't think it's the tone you're describing.  I don't have Mules or VHIIs but - based on others' comments - I think they'll be better for the styles you play.
BKPs I've Got:  RR, BKP-91, ITs, VHII, CS set, Emeralds

Shame you didn't like the HD bridge - I love it, easily my favourite BKP :)

But then I am an unreformed metaller so I guess I would :twisted:

Posting them back to the dealer later today and then I'll wait for the Mules. :)

Mules went in a couple of weeks ago. Happier with their tone. Not had a huge amount of time to play around with them right enough as I've been away on business a lot.
