pickups for les paul custom 57 vos

[robtc3uk]

Hi i am thinking of replacing the pickups in my 57 les paul it a all mahogany it has bustbukers in it atm but there not wax potted so squeal a lot so got to go!!.
I dont know what to put in was thinking reble yells or holydrives i paly lot of cult numbers with my band.I use a matchless dc30 I do find the neck pick up very bassy with a lose bottom.I am looking for a pickup not to bass heavy I like a tight bottom end!! I have bkp 500k pots in it.
what do you guys think
thanks

I'm not too up on HBs. Afghan might have some good insight though as he is a massive fan of a tight bottom end.

Looks like Afghan had responded to a similar question from you previously (6 years ago!)

Billy Duffy is 100% Duncan JBs in all but his white Gretch Falcon.

Therefore BKP Holydiver or Rebel Yell.

Good luck it's a great tone!

I think you've described the RY very well.

rebel yell for all mahogany

I play a couple of Cult songs in my band and I use Rebel Yells in an all mahogany guitar. They nail the tone perfectly. Last night I did a short gig with a scratch band and decided on a whim to take my SG with a JB in the bridge. Haven't
gigged this guitar for about 3 years and I really missed my RYs. They have much more punch than a JB even though the output isn't as high.

[robtc3uk]

To me it sounds like you made the right choice with the Rebel Yells. Hope you like them. I do.

Cheers Stephan

Just noticed you're using a Matchless DC30. Aren't they rather bright amps ? If so, you may have to do a bit of tweaking (height mainly) to get the best out of the RYs. I had to mess around with mine a lot but I got there in the end. Let us know how it goes.

Got my ry today will fit them in next few days . The dc 30 is bright I hope I made the right pickup choice but the guitar is a bit dark being a 57 custom .how do I adjust the pickup to get the best out of them it is something I never really done befor I just set them quite close to the string but not to close as to make wolf notes ect . Any advice on setting them up thanks
