Replacement pickups for Les Paul

[patton63]

I have an Epi Les Paul Standard and want to upgrade from the stock pickups. Can anyone recommend some nice replacements for this bass?

Thanks a lot.

that's got the big soapbars, right? in that case, there's lots of options, from the big boys like EMG and bartolini to boutique makers like SGD.

what kind of music do want to play with this thing?

 

[LaklandBass]

PRS Dragon II in the bridge and PRS Santana in the neck.

or Duncan JB in the bridge and Duncan 59 in the neck.

or EMG 81 in the bridge EMG 85 in the neck.

Thanks. This will be almost exclusively for rock and blues. What about the PRS Fralin buckbuster? Any experiences with them?

wait, this is a guitar? why did you call it a bass?

Yes, I'm very curious as well because you specifically used the word "bass" in the original post.

Sorry if this wasn't clear - I am looking for replacement bass pickups. I use the bass principally for rock and blues and want something better than the stock pickups that Epi uses.

I misspoke (typed) when I listed the pickup above. I meant to ask about the RS/Fralin Bassbuckers: [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

Any experience with these? Any alternatives that would be as good or better?

Thanks and, again, sorry for the confusion.
