The Pickup Place / Re: Single coil to pair with PAF Master

Thanks guys. What about non-rail pickups? I have nothing against rails but prefer the traditional look

The Pickup Place / Single coil to pair with PAF Master
« on: July 20, 2015, 04:38:00 PM »
Hey guys I recently got a PAF Master bridge for my Kramer striker and was looking for some advice on a neck single coil to go with it. I'm replacing a Breed and Air Norton S now that I've been wanting to play more garage rock/indie pop kind of stuff.
I love the PAF Master, hopefully I can review it soon, and I want "strattier" sound in the neck that will balance with the lower output as well not be too bright with 500k pots.
Thanks for any help!

The Pickup Place / Dimarzio PAFv Master?
« on: July 16, 2015, 12:34:24 AM »
Did dimarzio mess up their packaging design? My new paf master has a letter v instead of a registered trademark symbol. As a graphic designer I just thought it was funny and curious if anyone else got one of these?

The Pickup Place / Re: Crunch Lab or Dominion?

Dominion and Air norton s, two of my favorite pickups. Very versatile combo and uncompromising hard rock and metal tone. Dominion is super tight but still has some serious chunk and the air norton is the perfect pickup for speedy leads. If you have any questions, I have a lot experience with both pickups

All of them will sound great, just a matter of personal preference.

so the Breed would be very good for Rock/Hard Rock.

Yeah, if you don't need much highs, or your guitar is excessively bright. The breed is very warm with lots of midrange cut, not a whole lot of treble.

How versatile would a Breed set be in an SG.  I read earlier posts where the  Breed was great in a Les Paul.  We all know the LP and the SG are two totally different animals.

I love the breed, but the dominion is much better for metal, It sounds killer in my SG. As for versatility I'd take a dominion over the breed, breed is just a bit too dark. The dominion can cover the same ground as the breed but with more tightness and clarity. Roll back the tone knob and its practically a breed anyway.
I've got a 36th paf in the neck pos, for classic SG tones. I go from Lamb of God to Black Keys on this guitar, no problem.
I did a little review on the dominion around here somewhere if you want to get a better sense of it in an SG, you can probably find it.

The TZ and Evolutions have never sounded remotely good to me. The worst of all though is the Duncan JB, It has got to be the thinnest sounding pup ive ever tried.

I'm off and on with the Paf Pro, some days it sounds awesome and others it sounds weird to me, could be the wah sound it has

This is my fav Dimarzio a the moment, the midrange is so crunchy its insane. :madness:
Mark Morton from Lamb of God uses Breeds in his live guitars so I figured I'd try them out.

I put the breed bridge in my mahogany superstrat 6 months ago and it added so much crunch to my tone.  The pickup is warm enough that i don't really need to switch to the neck pickup for cleans.
With pickups like the D Activator and Super D i find that no matter how clean or distorted they are they maintain their tonality, not the case with the Breed it almost feels like a different pickup depending on how much gain I use. It sounds just as awesome for classic rock as it does for death metal, which isn't the case for any other pickup I've tried. With medium gain its warm and crunchy, high gain makes the lows tighter and pinch harmonics are easy to get and sustain.

This is the only pickup Ive ever heard convincing AC/DC tones out of in a superstrat. Its also great for LOG style metal tones (not scooped), I don't scoop my mids since I like to be heard over the drums, the breed adds even more depth to the midrange and especially accents alternate picking.

If you play rock and metal and like midrangey tones more than scooped ones I recommend trying the breed.
