New pickup for my Gibson LP

[Zaned]

It'll be a rocking set in an LP, slightly more aggressive in the bridge than a Mule. I don't know if the Riff Raff differs from the Mule by other aspects than having an Alnico V magnet, instead of the Alnico IV magnet in the Mule. Alnico V has more highs and lows than the Alnico IV.

I'd say go for it :) Tim's has his reasons for suggestions.

In my experience, the warmest humbucker is an Alnico II Stormy Monday.

I don't agree with Tim's suggestion of a Riff Raff, but at the end of the day it's your choice!

in my LP classic antique, all mahogany with tonal chambers, the mules are definitely brighter than i thought from every description... this can depend mostly from the tonal chambers, that brighten the tone giving it that snapping attack typical of hollow-bodies. AND from the fact that actually my bridge mule has got an A5 instead of the traditional A4 magnet.
anyway if you're looking for an expressive and dynamic pickup that's great for rock, hard rock and blues, you can't go wrong with the mules.

if you feel that your LP is acoustically bright and want to darken things a bit then black dog in the bridge. no direct experience, but it's basically an overwound and darker mule.
i'd stick with the neck mule, anyway. i can't imagine how anyone could dislike it! ;)

i can't comment Tim's suggestion because i've never focused my attention on riff raffs, so i don't know much about them.

Are The Mule and Stormy monday dynamic and expressive???

What are the differences between these two pickups? the output only?

[Zaned]

Stormy Monday is softer sounding, they're both very dynamic.

If you have doubts (as you obviously have), ask Tim again about your concerns. It's his chosen job to make you a product that gives you the desired tone, and he knows his craft better than anyone.
