I would go with AIV in the neck. It combines very well with an AV bridge pickup. Something like an AIV Mule or Monday would get you a Slash tone and then some.

Black Dog bridge, Mule neck (alnico II, since slash uses that?)? Would that work, BK conoisseurs?

yeah, poor Jimmy, he's getting quoted a lot in this forum these days :D

Meanwhile I found that the BDs can also do phantastic 80s metal sound a la iron maiden, though not _so well nu metal

For what it's worth I have a set of VH2's in my Epi and it is lovely

I told Tim I was after the Slash type sound and he recommended the Mules at first, but I wanted a tad extra gain so opted for the VH2s

I am really pleased, but there is still a lack of overall depth to the tone, which I think is due to the guitar more than anything else

I would really like to try them in a Tokai or something a bit chunkier when I get a moment as I feel the bodies of cheaper guitar don't allow you to get the most from your pups

IMHO of course!!!

me being a shool kid. I could only afford to get one so ive got the bridge Blackdog just now, still thinking about the neck pick up. Probably will go with the mules. I was originaly planning on getting a VHII but after hearing Hunters Stairway to heaven solo i was hooked on the Blackdogs!!

By the way Tim. You maked one hell of a pickup!!! :drink:
