can anyone recomend good bluesy Humbucker

Hey all, I play mostly acoustic but every once in a while I get an itch for playing electric. Just gave away an amp and electric Guitar to my oldest son, he needed it for a Band and it was a lot of amp and guitar for what I want one for (just to beat around on here in my guitar room and maybee record a little).

My Question is what is a good Blues sounding Hmbucker(I prefer playing blues to anything else but not exclusivly blues) to put in a Cheap Les Pau jr. I have purchased. These Guitars to anyone who is not familiar, Have a single Humbucker with 1 Tone and 1 Volume control.

I changed out the tuners to some decent Grovers that were laying around from another deal. The guitar plays nice and for about the $100 bucks I have in it to this point, it's not bad and will serve my purpose well. But this has got to be one of the worst sounding P/U ever. It's very coarse and muddy.

I am playing through a new Roland micro cube practice amp and it is a decent amp. So I know that is'nt the issue. Just need to install a decent Humbucker

Any recomendations appreciated.

thanks
Smoke

OldG is right!! Darn.. I saw and heard the ones for the pups I was looking at and falsely assumed all of them had audio bites.

Sorry 'bout that!
