It's funny . . . the Blues Saraceno version has a bit more bark and bite than the Original. Yet, it's a considerably lower wind. 9.8k PATB-3b vs 15.7k for the PATB-1b. Both are A5 mags.

Well, "lower wind" is relative, of course...the PATB-1 and 3 don't share the same wire gauge, so it's not an apples-to-apples comparison.
If you think of "9.8K" in terms of a "PAF" style wind, which is essentially what the PATB-3 is, then you can see it's destined to be on the "hotter" side of the spectrum. Still, it's not so hot that it looses clarity or dynamics.
The PATB-3 is definitely one of the coolest SD pickups around. Even if we HAD to stick to a PATB-3 bridge and original neck pairing for this, I'd be down...

Of course, matching single stscks are on the table too, no?

We can ask when the time comes, but don't be disappointed if they don't want to recreate the entire PA line as a special run

It’s not a patent. It’s a trademark. Patents expire. Trademarks don’t.

Even when things lighten up, I don't know how motivated SD would be to create a whole new pickup just for us. I also don't know how many bass players would actually be interested in a cream PA pickup, but I would hazard a guess that it's far fewer than the number of regular guitar players that would want a double cream PA set.
Like I said earlier, I get the feeling from their replies that IF the company chooses to do this for us, the easier we make it on them, the more likely it is to happen.
If someone wants to spearhead another major "forum pickup" effort, go ahead....this really isn't that

Fair enough. I was just thinking if it was an HSS set, or HH set, I'd throw the cash down for sure.

True. For some reason, I tend to forget about wire gauge when thinking about pickup output.
Good observation.
Question: How does wire gauge affect output?

But Les did prefer those Lo-Z pickups in the guitars he played. Even when I saw him at the Iridium in 2007, he was using one of his Custom Recording Models.
He loved those. Not many other guitarists did, however.

I have a client with two LP Recordings and a first year L5-S with the gold lo-z pickups. He loves the way they sound, and uses the Recording with the Bigsby on gigs occasionally. Another client owns two LP Triumph basses with the lo-z pickups. He gets a great tone when playing live.
I had a handful of friends who loved them. The tone was always strange to me, and worse was the feel, which doesn't eem like something I could get used to.

Plus, the ohms/ft. gets lower, (ever so slightly). So DCR, and/or output, takes a bit of a double hit.
Not the physical feel of the guitar- the sonic interaction of the pickups and how you play.
