Pearly Gates neck vs. Alnico II Pro neck

[saladin]

Which neck pickups sound the best for you? I've owned a PG set in the past and thought that the neck PG was amazing. I just got an Alnico II neck and am liking that very much. Any one have any comments.

I have an APH neck and a pearly gates bridge, but I am really interested in the pearly gates neck.
What does the PG neck sound like compared to the APH???

APH is the best neck bucker on the planet. That's all I have to say about that.

I absolutely love the PGn, but I never got around to trying the APH in any of my guitars.

I used the bridge-in-neck version of both, and there's not beating the FATNESS of the aph-1b in the neck. Then if you want you sound a little brighter, the PG is best.

It's been awhile since I've owned the PG set but you're saying the PG is brighter?
