choices for my dark 335

[Telerocker]

i tend to be on the gainier side for sure.

Regarding your amp I guessed so!  :)

[littleredguitars2]

lol yeah. i love this mesa.

Bit late to this... but yep, thumbs up from me :D

I have Mules in a 335. Mine are unpotted, but then I don't use much gain.

They replaced the stock 57 Classics and really opened the thing up. It didn't change character much, just more "edge" or "bite" in a pleasant way. Really responds well to the guitar's volume and tone knobs now.

It was a straight pickup swap between the 335 and a Love Rock that could just about cope with losing some edge (although I am missing it when I play that one now!!).

Good luck with the rewiring! :lol: (Are you doing it yourself?)

[littleredguitars2]

hell no i'm not doing it myself haha. these are a nightmare. to be honest i'm not sure what pickups were in it originally. theres a patent number on the back but google didnt really give me much help

[littleredguitars2]

the mule shipped. i'm excited to try it out. i think i'm going to try it out in one of my strats before i bring it to my tech and have it thrown in the 335.  has anyone here ever tried a mule in a strat?

My friend had. A bit bright. He went back to his Crawler.

I like vintage-output humbuckers in set-neck guitars, but I find Strats need something a bit hotter and fatter.  I think that's just a personal foible of mine, probably because I'm more used to Gibson type guitars than Fenders.

all of my strats are alder but i'm going to try it in the darker one and see what its like just for the hell of it. but i was always curious about the crawler too.

I totally agree. I like my strats with something hotter/fatter than vintage. VHII, Abraxas, Crawler, and maybe a Holy Diver for me.

One of the first bare knuckle setups I came across was a crawler set In a strat and the tone was immense. Best part was... the guy used the same amp as me so I knew it would sound very close if I got one. And I've thought about a juggernaut or holy diver maybe in another one as well.  Who knows

Those are exactly the same ones I'd have on my list!  :lol:

I have an Abraxas, I have a VHII (not actually fitted in guitars, of course....), but not the other two.  Makes me want to go out and buy another Strat body.  Or two.  But I'm supposed to be selling stuff!  :x

just got my 335 back. this mule has definitely breathed new life into this guitar. i'm used to much hotter pickups but i definitely needed something that was a bit less. i can't have all my guitars with super high output stuff! definitely a great pickup. my guitar tech really liked it too. he says it reminded him of some dimarzio pickups.

[Philly Q]

my guitar tech really liked it too. he says it reminded him of some dimarzio pickups.

That could be controversial!  :lol:   Which ones?

i'm not sure. i think he meant closer to dimarzios than the seymour duncans that i've tried in the past

[Telerocker]

I had a few Dimarzio's in the past - PAF, PAF Pro and another one, forgot the model - but they sounded not close to a Mule.
