Ended up going for the Bare Knuckle Riff Raff in the bridge and a Mule in the neck. Really excited to get them installed!

Must point out this video for being a good help, alongside all of the above comments, in deciding on the combination:

Hope you'll like them, but the more I listen to your (very excellent) LP the more I think you should be happy with this set. FWIW you now have a small but hopefully growing fan base here in Bordeaux France 8)
Have: Crawlers, BGF 50/52s, Mules, ABomb, RiffRaff
Had : Slowhands (n&m), Trilogy (b)

Had the pickups installed last week and had a practice this week - totally thrilled with them! They are definitely what I was looking for, so thanks once again dudes for all of your help. :)

BigB - Thanks, man! We're actually going to be playing a couple of UK dates with the French band Baton Rouge (ex-Daitro members; are you a fan?) in a couple of weeks - really looking forward to it! Who knows, maybe one day we'll make it over to France!

Thanks again, everyone!

You may want to AskTim™ before placing your order - the guy really knows its products.
Fixed that for you. Alt + 0153 is your ticket mate ;)


On the topic at hand: My vote is for the RR bridge. Thing with BKPs is that you always get multiple PUs that can do the same thing equally well, just in different ways.
It´s like you want a hearty meal to satisfy your hunger and you get a world class chef serving you 3 amazing hearty dishes which are all very different in ingredients. Now try to pick only one xD

When you got the RR bridge and wanne add a neck PU (with the finances being what they are you can hold up on that no problem, but in the long run I would say an upgrade there is worth it, you´d be suprised) the question you gotta again ask yourself is what do I want out of it with the Mule being that classic warm neck sound (but with amazing range) or the brighter more agressive classic neck sound that a RR will deliver.
Either way will leave you with a huge improvement and a grin on your face that will make your fellow musicians rather uncomfortable I suspect. Happens when I get new BKPs anyhow.

Cheers!
