The Pickup Place / Re: Want to replace Illuminators on MusicMan Majesty

Given your description of the tone you want I'd go Tone Zone/PAF Pro or a pair of Breeds myself.

Disclaimer: ok, the TZ is not the tightest pickup in the universe but when you get it dialed in right its AWESOME. After all, Petrucci used it on Images & Words which is arguably his finest moment, both playing and tonewise.

The Pickup Place / Re: HFH vs Super 2 vs 36th

Yes, the Super 2 is pretty saturated. It does a great early Gilbert/RX shred tone but i dont like doing lower gain playing with it. The 36th handles gain like a champ. Listen to the latest Marco Sfogli album; that's a 36th (N) and a Norton (B).

I think either the 36th or a PAF Pro is the way to go. I'd choose PP.

It's funny with people thinking its a weak pickup, or doesnt balance well with a hotter pickup like the TZ. IMO Petruccis best tones (I&W and Awake) was a Tone Zone and a HFH. Killer epic progressive metal tones.
