Any feedback on Rio's Texas / BBQ humbucker set in a LesPaul? Sounds closest to what Seymour's?

Re: Rio Tex/BBQ humbuckers in a LP
I havent ever tried the texas but I really the BBQ its sounded great in every guitar I've put it in. I do agree it isnt a very bright pickup but to me thats a big plus... I also agree SD doesnt really have anything in the lineup like it..."It keeps you fit - the alcohol, nasty women, sweat on stage, bad food - it's all very good for you." -Bon Scott
"Let me put it this way: the 5150 will treat
you better than any girlfriend, because it screams louder, it's easier to pick up, and it shuts up when you take your plug out." -Rip Glitter

Re: Rio Tex/BBQ humbuckers in a LP
I'm not sure how much they sound like a BBQ/Texas set from Rio, but CC/59 set sounds pretty thick and toneful in a Paul. My two main Pauls are C-5/59 and CC/SethOriginally posted by Boogie BillI've got 60 guitars...but 49 trumpets is just...INSANITY! WTF!

Re: Rio Tex/BBQ humbuckers in a LP
Some say the CC won't do high gain tight rhythm well but lots of guys do it!
I know a guy who tried the CC and ended up using the Burstbucker Pros for the same type of high gain music I play. That tells me the C-5 would still be better for my high gain style.

The Texas is somewhat in the ballpark of the '59, but there is no Duncan that's similar to the BBQ. The CC has much less low end and a bit more midrange than the BBQ, while being slightly higher in output.

Re: Rio Tex/BBQ humbuckers in a LP
Is the texas good for cleans? I have a custom overwound alnico 2 pro that sounds good but I heard it wont match if I buy a BBQ so I may get the Texas or maybe a Bastard p-90. Any thoughts?My bands links:

Re: Rio Tex/BBQ humbuckers in a LP
The Alnico 2 Pro is my favorite neck pickup of all-time, so it made sense to match it up with a bridge pickup that was a bit warmer sounding. Both pickups have a nice bass response, and my opinion is that the Alnico 2 Pro has more mids than the tone chart shows, but not quite as much as the BBQ. Both pickups have warm, sweet highs. So it's pretty easy to find one amp setting that brings out the best in both pickups.

Re: Rio Tex/BBQ humbuckers in a LP
I took the BBQ out of my Epi LP. It was too dark, too much low end, (and too little high), and didn't have enough articulation for me. Good sounding pup, but just not for me. I replaced it with a JB and can't be happier. On the other hand I have a Texas in the neck and its probably never leaving. GREAT sounding pup, articulate, smooth, great harmonics, just sings.....!
