Re: Which is a warmer pickup: Duncan CC or Rio BBQ?
Seths come with covers normally so that's not a problem. My CC came with a cover and vacuum wax potting right from the factory! It's called a floor custom. I think they charge $10 more, but it looks great, and won't give you microphonics. You can get em through Black Rose for a song.

"Take a solo after the tenor sax player. How is your tone? THAT is what big is about to me."
Amen Brother Mac,
Bought a 498T 14k and a Dirty Fingers 12k yesterday. Doc said 498 has more mid than C5 and if that’s not enough mid I'll try it with an a2 stick of butter.
Concern with not having enough top so I bought the DF too. I don't know what gauge either are but if the 498 is #42 it won't be in the guitar a week.
I was perusing eBay for a custom (weather you like the ceramic or not get it cause it gives you a thin ceramic to try in other PUs that came with alnicos without doing mods to them) and a DDn (under wound custom both are #43) to try in bridge positions while I still have a JB, DD, and a 14.6k #42-43 hybrid in guitars.
I know that in the end Doc is right (balanced set of #42s or even a pushy #42 in the bridge (9.5 - Angus)) but I'm already committed to the Hi-z shoot out.
Coltrane played a tenor sax but if you didn't know you'd think it was an alto (a special one-LOL) cause he didn't do the gut buster low notes. Duane Allman came the closest to Coltrane's tone that I've ever heard.
When John McLaughlin ordered his first mesa he ordered a second one for someone he had never even met and had them shipped to England. He phoned Santana Ask him to do an album with him and that he had a gift for him, come to England.
John turned Santana on to Coltrane, Mesas, and Gurus. I'm sure their conversation turned to how to get Duane's tone (the Contain tone) without a Cheesy Germanium transistor fuzz in front of an already gained out tube amp.
Hi-z bridge PU's are my last stab at avoiding the fuzz box.
