I thought I had read at one time someone was going to do the Virtual Vintage mod to a PAF Pro but I haven't seen any follow up. Did I miss that? If not, can anyone predict what the possible results of this mod on a PP would be? Such a versatile pickup, but can get bright in the bridge. Thinking about doing this for a future project a few months from now.

No idea what happened with that, although I do think it would work pretty well for the PAF Pro.
If you're going to give it a shot, I think we'd all love to hear about the results.

If I do it, (there is a debate in my mind about getting a PAF Pro for this experiment, or a Breed neck) I will definitely post about it. After reading about the Breed neck being a fatter PAF Pro, I was really intrigued about using it. The only thing I have heard negative about the Breed neck is that the high end can be strident when in the bridge. I know that there are 3 screws that can be added per coil. I wonder if just adding 1 screw per coil would pull just a hair of the high end back, while leaving the rest of the pickup alone.
This will be a cool experiment. Then next part of decision process is using a 500K or 250K pot. Maybe using a Breed neck with a 250K pot would be the equivalent of doing the VV mod. So many questions.

It would definitely make an interesting experiment!
I would say, stick with the 500k pots. If you wanted to see what it would be like with a 250k pot just run a 500k resistor across the pot in parallel between the input and the ground.

Is there a particular reason you suggest to stick with the 500K pots? Have you tried the Breed neck in the bridge of a strat-like guitar?
