HTF,
Thanks for the reply. The Bluesbucker might be headed in the right direction.
The Pre-B1 has a sonic profile of B6 M6.5 T6.5.
The Bluesbucker is B4.5 M5.5 T6 and is the ball park.
I think that the HFH would be too bright looking at the sonic profile.
Have you owned all three of those pups (Pre-B1, HFH, and Bluebucker) to describe your experience?

The Pickup Place / Dimarzio HB that sounds the most like a Pre-B1?

Looking for pickup suggestions from people who have some experience with a pre-B1 and a variety of Dimarzio HB's.
The reason for the search:
I have an Alder/Maple tele that has a pre-B1 in the bridge. They sound fantastic together.
I have another alder/maple guitar (let's call it the "Orange Guitar", since it is orange) with a 36th Anniversary Neck in the bridge position and I find myself wanting a bridge sound similar sound to the pre-B1 in the bridge.
I am also hoping for a humbucker with a good solid split coil sound. I would be happy to have either the split sound or the humbucking sound be very similar to the Pre-B1. I can see advantages of going either way. Looking for suggestions on Dimarzio HB's that would fit the bill.
What I like about the pre-B1: very solid lows and mids with still enough treble to cut through (plenty of muscle, yet still has clarity without being too bitey), very responsive to picking dynamics.
Clarifiers:
1. I know that a single coil and a humbucker will have inherent, unavoidable sonic differences due to the physics behind their designs.
2. I'm not interested in just putting a pre-B1 in the Orange Guitar because it is routed for a humbucker and I don't like the looks of those HB to single cover plates.
