Hey guys,
I couldn't wait for any more soundclips so I just took my old Breed pup and wired it into my S520EX bridge position.

I only had time to do some heavy distortion rhythm and a lead... I must say, I totally dig the crisp vintagey tones thats coming out of this configuration! The cleans are killer too! For those of you with a Breed neck model, expect the same killer acoustic like cleans when its split, just tighter and slightly more trebly at the bridge. There is a very nice snap to the distorted tone, even on the low end.... speaking of which, the low end is booming! Its not a super tight low end ala the X2N but its a bit on the loose side.... nothing to worry about IMO. Harmonics are easy to get, they jump out with minimal effort... close to the Tonezone's harmonic responsiveness. Speaking of tonezone, the breed's dynamics are just as good and it sounds more organic as compared to the TZ's modern slant.
This config is a keeper... I loved the Breeds for their "vintage sound with modern power" when I used them last time... and now, the Breed neck in the bridge brings that to a less over the top tone with a less extreme eq (unlike the Breed bridge). Now, I'm getting back my old Humbucker From Hell. Heh. I am pleased. :twisted:
Btw, Dimarzio stated the Breed neck in bridge sounds like a slightly hotter and warmer PAF Pro. I never used the PAF Pro before but if anyone knows, post a comparison please!
