The C5 has the most bass of all the Customs.

I use PG's in the neck on all my Lesters and a C5, CC and C5 for the bridge.
I like the push that the Custom series have as well as the clarity without being harsh or shrill.

Is that the Alnico 5 Crap or the Alnico 2 Crap? Did you put covers on the Craps, or leave them exposed??

95 Std w/Antiquity set
98 Std w/C-5/PGn
01 59 RI w/Jimmy Page set

I have also had a 59 set in the 59 RI and a DD set in the 95 Std. Running 500k pots all around definately is a must for the DD set or any other HB to sound its best in a LP, IMHO. I don't know that a proper setup is any more critical in a LP over any other guitar and a poorly setup guitar of any make will not play or sound at it's best.

Re: what do you have in your les paul?

I have a Custom/PGn set in mine. Sounds great through a Fender tube amp.
I play rock, hard-rock, and blues with this guitar. Playing this guitar through a cranked Deluxe Reverb, a bright amp, really hits some nice highs and I have no trouble getting good bass tones out of it.
Played with a bigger size amp like the Blues DeVille really tapers the high off a little but makes it much deeper. It'll shake the room.
So, is the C-5 a bassier pickup? I've never fully understood what that pup is all about, except that there were a lot of people at this forum who contributed their thoughts and ideas to the design of this hummer.

'78 Les Paul Deluxe: Still has the original minihumbuckers in it.

'82 30th Anniversary: Stock Gibson humbucker in the neck position (T-top?). Unknown, Seymour Duncan humbucker in the bridge position. I just bought a 70's Gibson T-top pickup to replace the Duncan.

I think the PGn sounds brighter in my Pauly than the '59. I tried a PG/59n combo in it once but the 59 sounded too dark. I installed a PG in place of the 59, and it was a pretty good match, but after putting the '59 in my G400 matched with a Custom and liking the way that sounded I decided to try a Custom in my LP. The PGn compliments the Custom very well. The PG gives the overall sound just enough more bass to fill the mix out. I like running the Custom at 9, and the PGn at about 7.5 when played together.
But for solo work, the Custom wails just fine all by iteslf.
