Stumbled across this on Youtube. This guy does a pretty good A/B of the two. Something about the BK reminds me of an APH.

Wow, that guy has chops.
Both setups sounded great IMO. The BK sounded more open and unforgiving, while the '57 sounded smoother to my ears.

According to Tim Mills of BKP Alnico II, III and IV were used in the earliest PAF's so I can see why the two magnets are in the same 'vintage' ballpark tonally. Each type sounds best with different windings, though.

Yeah, sure, since the pickups are used in the clip.
The set sounds different in my guitar, though. There are lots of clips at the BKP board and Youtube featuring different amps and guitars so if you're interested, those are the right places to look around.

I am loving this. One person responds to this thread. And he has a Mule. I am going to keep posting these threads with tangible evidence about pickups, just as my own little human behavior experiment.
We already know how many responses there would be if the thread was "57 vs Mule, can someone describe what I should expect"
Now I know why everyone dogs the clips on the SD site. What fun is proof! All in good fun folks, but it is an interesting observation.

I have a set of AIV Mules in a Gibby LP standard which replaced a set of Seth Lovers.
While I really liked the Seths, I tried the Mules and they blew me away. More op, clearer sounding and basically flat tonally. They really let the sound of the guitar come through imo.
