sounds really nice! I also love the quacky tone of my Mules in the middle position. Sounds really strat like, great for SRV and Rory Gallagher style tones actually.

Hi, This is my first post. I'm rather puzzled, I can't see how humbuckers can sound like SRV or Gallagher.... what do you mean exactly?

I think tom's getting at the tone of two humbuckers in parallel, it's a touch thinner than either humbucker on its own, closer to a strat I suppose!

And welcome! 8)

HI HJM,

I see... I have my LP wired out of phase when both pickups are on. I do get a slightly weaker signal with a bass roll-off but I love that sound and makes my guitar so much more versatile IMHO.

The sound has hollow mids, clear bass, and a sparkling top end. The quack is very stratty. It's cool for funky playing, blues, and even for chords and strumming, since the sound is similarly 'acoustic-like' as on a Strat with the neck and middle singles in parallel.
