Hello all
I'm newbie to this forum.
I would like to update my Tele RI 52 with thoses excellent BK pickups but I don't know what set would be the best for me.
I've listened the sound clips of the Brown Sugar, and Boss...I really liked both, and I would like to have your point of view about these pickups.
I play a lot with the neck position and the "in-between" position, most with clean tone, and sometimes with a slight overdrive. I'm more in the "post rock" sound à la Tortoise for example, and I never play metal or very saturated sounds. As I play without a bass player, I need lots of bass and highs to fill the space with the guitar.

Thanks for your comments.
cheers

RG

note: my amp is a 67's BF Bassman with Jensen P12N speakers, and I have lots of old pedals and effects.

I too am on the fence with this one but i think the Brown sugars would be best. Or mix it up a little Tim doesn't mind at all.

Thanks Tom!
I hope you'll post some sound clips with your set...and that will help me to decide between.
