Alnico II Pro or SM-1 Vintage?

[alistairs]

What is the difference between Humbuckers, mini-humbuckers and soapbars?

Which is best for Clapton / Knopfler sound?

Looking for pups for neck and bridge on Aria Pro II CS250 - ash body, rosewood fretboard.

Soap bars are single coils in general. (think P-90) Mini-Hums are true
Humbuckers, But have a bright single coil flavor to them.

And neither Knopfler nor (within the last 25 years or so) Clapton are particularly well known for using any of the three styles of pickup you mention.
