Dimarzio Breed-neck Model In Bridge?

[GOLDWING68NV]

Hey Guys-this Is My First Post Ever On Here-so Here It Goes.i Was Curious To Know If Anyone On This Forum Has Tried A Dimarzio "breed" Neck-model Pickup In The Bridge Of A Strat-style, Floyd Rose Equipped Guitar And What Your Thoughts On It Were?i've Had A Breed Bridge-model In My 1991 Emerald Green Ibanez Rg565-basswood Body,w/maple Neck & Fretboard.i Liked It Overall Alot But Wanted A Little Less Bass & Mids And Especially More Clarity And Definition Under High Gain.then I Replaced It With A Dimarzio Paf Pro.i Like This Pickup As Well,especially For Its Awesome Clarity & Definition,but Felt There Was Not Enough Bass & Mids(in My Guitar),being A Fairly Bright Guitar.i'm Thinking Of Replacing The Paf Pro For A Dimarzio Breed-neck Version.the Dimarzio Website Calls It A Slighter Warmer,fatter Version Of A Paf Pro & The E.q. Chart Shows It To Have Less Bass & Mids Than The Breed Bridge-model Pickup,which Is What I'm Looking For.my Musical Influences/playing Style Is 80's George Lynch/dokken,chris Oliva/savatage,andy Laroque/king Diamond-"abigail" Era, Along With Various Speed Metal & Death/doom Metal Bands Of 80's-90's!!!

I haven't had any experience with the Breed models, but I have a DiMarzio Tone Zone in the bridge and Air Norton in the neck of my Ibanez RG321 (mahogany body, maple neck w/ rosewood fingerboard). Both of these pickups are very clear when distorted, and the Tone Zone is very beefy, but also quite hot. The Air Norton is a great neck match to the TZ, as it isn't as hot, yet still clear and very fat, so it might be more what you're looking for. Just listen to the solos on Dream Theater's album "Awake" (the solos on "Scarred" convinced me to pick the Air Norton over a couple other models I was considering). Just my 2 cents.

Just a note, I think Steve Vai used the Breed's on his album "The Ultra Zone", not positive however.

the breed neck model in the bridge sounds like a PAF pro on vitamins.
