HELP! Recommend me a PUP set similar to 57/08's, FOR MY CUSTOM 24!

[evanism]

Hey guys, am currently using a PRS Custom 24 with stock Vintage Bass/HFS pups. I'm looking to head the PAF direction and drive the amp more for heavier tones. The 57/08's are at the top of my list but unfortunately they're not readily available where I'm at and the price isn't too friendly either.
Help recommend me alternatives that sound like it? It must be 4 conductor to work with my 5 way rotary switch.

I've only got these in mind:
1) SD Alnico II Pro
2) DiMarzio 36th Anniv PAFs
3) SD 59's


Your help and recommendation will be greatly appreciated!!

Cheers,
Evan

So far I'm looking at the Alnico II Pro. The neck is definitely gonna be it. I saw loadsa guys recommending the Custom/C5/CCs.. But they're kinda high output and I was thinking if that's the case I would keep the HFS in my bridge. How will the matching A2P bridge be?

I'd recommend a PATB-1n/PATB-3 combo. It's aN articulate, PAF sounding set up that has just a bit extra to help stay tight and defined under heavy gain.
