What are the differences between the Mule and Riff Raff neck?

[Ephemeria]

A well as being interested in how the EQs of these neck pickups compare, I'm also curious how the compare in terms of feel, tone, personality, etc. Or are they very similar being PAFs, but just the bridge pickups different?

RiffRaff is significantly brighter than the Mule-neck.

Technically the wind is different on the coils although they're both wound with 42AWG PE. Mule uses a vintage cut AIV magnet and the Riff Raff the shorted rough cast AV magnet. Tonally the Mule produces a flatter response and doesn't drive so hard while the Riff Raff has a brighter high end and more power. There a great demo of the Riff Raff neck here by Bruce Dickinson of the Colour of Noise:

Hi, i have recorded some video clips showcasing the Riff Raff neck that is pretty on low to mid gain lead playing. Maybe you can hear the response, dynamic, pick attack etc. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tx_qcsy7-To
I have a bunch other videos where i play this pickup on that guitar through a different setup and presets (high gain, coil split etc)
You can compare my clip with other people clips of the mule neck. Hope it helps
