??? for Mullen owners

What hum bucking pick-ups have you guys had good luck (and tone) with? The 910's on my Zum are great, but how about on a Mullen? Or maybe a 710, or Geo.L 10-1 or PF1? Or even one I haven't mentioned. Let me hear from you.
Thanks,
Roger

I have numerous Mullen guitars and each one has it's own personality. I have at least 2 that have the stock Mullen pu's wound anywhere from 25k-28k ohms. It took some experimenting but they have the tone that I like. Some of my other Mullen rigs have the Geo. L. 10-1 and they have a tone that I like also. You'll need to experiment also to find the sound you're looking for.

910's NARROW

No more hum and nice clear and mellow sound.

Roger, I've tried all the pick-ups you've mentioned plus a Lawrence 610. The 910's were my favorite and final choice.

I tried a 612 on my Mullen U-12. Hated it. Went back to the stock pickup that Dixie made for the guitar.

I also like the stock pickups that came with my Mullen. They are around 28K. Real sweet sounding pickups.

Yep, after trying several other pickups, I have gone back to the original. Much better for me.

When I bought my Mullen a few years ago, Del and Tom Brumley were working on a humbucker pickup but I still opted for the standard and have never regretted it. I know of two players with the antihummers on different brands and they are not happy with the tone and I wasn't impressed with it either.
