I have a Maverick Species 1 RG shaped dual humbucker fixed bridge guitar. I love the guitar but I am not to keen on it's high output pickups. I have read many good things about Bare Knuckle pickups and think I would like to try one in the bridge of my guitar. I had thought about the Mule but I am not that clued up on the range. I play mainly classic rock, AC/DC being my favourite and also a bit of Sabbath, Scorpions, Judas Priest etc. Any advice please?

Maybe a VHII...

i've heard VHIIs are a bit bright in basswood. Crawler maybe?

Basswood is a bit dark sounding so you'll need a bright pickup to compensate.

VHII's, Rebel Yells and maybe Riff Raffs.

I think Crawlers would go muddy in basswood.

Would Mules do the trick?

Or how about Abraxas as something a little different?
