Thanks for the post Twinfan.

I am actually looking to change my pups in my McRosie. The bridge pup is quite good but the neck is a bit mushy and dark especially with my cornford amp.

For my Neck pup, I'm looking for a clear almost strat type sound when split and warm sound when HB.

I want more powerful pup in the bridge.

I played it next to my LP which has a Mule and Blackdog in and both pickups were clearer and leaning towards the sound i want.

I would like a smooth overdrive sound so was leaning toward abraxas or crawler for bridge but wasnt sure on the neck pup. Had considered a P90 but wasnt sure if this would limit the variety of sounds compared to a HB with split coils.

Abraxas or Crawlers may work well, but I've never played those so I can't give an opinion.

I think Brow has a set of Abraxas in a Custom 22 so he might be worth a PM?

Just received mail that my covered RebelYells have returned from Tim. Gotta pick them up later and smash them in the Mc, can't wait to try 'em. The major downer for me was feedback with the stock pickups, they are microphonic like hell.

You played the Abraxas in my CU22 at the meet up mate!!! :)

The Abraxas in my PRS are a very versatile set of pickups; the bridge pushes well (can be tamed with volume control) and the neck is very smooth, but not overly compressed

Just installed an uncovered black mule in the neck of my Sig LP. It looks awesome. Saving the pennies to get an uncovered black bridge now. Still not sure what bridge to go for - I've been listening to lots of AC/DC lately (especially If You Want Blood) so that may sway me a little!
I think I hate being indecisive.

If you're serious, give me a shout.  I have my eye on something else and could be tempted to sell....

Dave, if Crazy Joe doesn't go for it... let me know how much and I'll see what I can do. I'm waiting on insurance at the moment to see how much they'll pay out for my '57! Cheers.

Hi Don  :)

I'd be after what I paid for it, which was £1500....

Ok then, sounds good to me.... I just hope my insurance pays up! If it goes just let me know otherwise I'll be in touch once I hear from my insurers. All the best bud.

Aaaah - I've not read that thread for a while. My mind changes a lot as well!! i.e. I was going to sell my LP and then decided to put some Mules in it. I'm glad I didn't sell it but will probably have the thought of selling it again.

I've been pretty good recently - I've sold some stuff and will probably sell some more.  But I change my mind too, almost gave in to GAS last week, in fact I went all the way to Andertons to buy something, but I didn't like it.   So I felt good about not spending that money.  :lol:

I'm more into Warmoth projects at the moment, which is still GAS but doesn't feel quite as bad because you're buying things in bits rather than dropping hundreds of quid in one go.
