The paf pro is a quality pickup in the right guitar.

That is possible! Most definitely, in fact I experienced the same thing! Had a JB bridge/Paf Pro neck loaded axe and I alway went back to the Paf Pro for good articulate high-gain riffs, and used the JB for smooth lead playing and the ocassional downstrokes. That Paf Pro is incredible isn't it? Harmonically rich, agressive, but sounds a little thin sometimes. The clean ups are excellent though! Always made me think about the Savatage sound, yeah it's that awesome! I could get the Lynch sound very easilly, but I guess that's more of a finger-thing

The fact is, it isn't really hotter, but it has more note definition and articulation. It also cuts through the mix like a knife through butter

Re: I got my paf pro

I had the PAF Pro and liked it a lot...I think I'm going to try it in another guitar of mine that needs a little more presence over the Super3 I'm using.

Re: I got my paf pro

Hey you guys, if you love the PAF pro you gotta try the breed neck model in the bridge spot!
it is a fatter/hotter PAF pro
goes great with a pro in the neck spot


Tech Talk: The Breed™ is a bit louder and fatter-sounding than the PAF Pro. As a neck pickup, it has more than enough power to balance with high-output bridge pickups: it will work with the Tone Zone®, Super Distortion® and Evolution® as well as The Breed™ bridge model.
In the bridge position, it has a very warm, hot PAF® tone--really smooth, with nice harmonics.

Re: I got my paf pro

RG How does the breed neck compare to the breed bridge? have you tried one cause ive gota breed bridge and at times its alittle to thick and not as smooth as I want it to be. If that’s the case I shud have got a Breed neck and put it in the bridge!

Re: I got my paf pro

RA, can you post some sound clips, as I'd really LIKE to hear what the PAF PRO sounds like???

Re: I got my paf pro

I had a floral Jem back in the day and the best thing about it was the PAF Pros. I played that guitar until it was literally falling apart. If I ever get another Floyd Rose super-strat type guitar I will definitely put PAF Pros in it.

the neck one is less output and crisper. definitely brighter than the bridge
it is a PAF PRO with more chunk and output.

Re: I got my paf pro

I've just refinished my Ibanez RG570. I also installed a set of paf pros for the sole reason of selling it as a JEM7BSB replica.

However, I'm not sure now if I want to sell itl There's something about the paf pro's and Japanese Ibanez RG/Jem combo that really works. I've owned 2 Jems back in the day with paf pro's. The pink and black one (not sure on the model names). They were great guitars.

I'm also thinking about the Air Zone and Breed in the bridge, just for ****es and giggles.

For 'the' paf pro tone, listen to DLR's 'Eat em' and smile', espeically 'Ladies night in Buffalo'. That record has a young and hungry Stevie Vai in top form before he became a pompous instrumentalists who uses high output pups :wink:.

Re: I got my paf pro

The paf pro is an awesome pickup in the RIGHT guitar, but in the wrong guitar it is not.

 

[Reckless Abandon]

Re: I got my paf pro

I put it in my Floyd Mohagony guitar and it did not sound as good as it did in my strat type guitar. The JB sounds hotter in this one

Yeah, but then again, you have to take into consideration all the gear he had, or was using :duh: :smack: . Can someone post a clip of THEM playing with the PAF Pro??? :burnout:

Re: I got my paf pro

I have a set of PAF Pros in my FR MIA Strat right now and I loved them but after about 6 months of them I'm beginning to tire of them... I seem to be missing that brightness and natural snarl of the JB and Jazz neck for dirty sounds. Plus i found if I'm not careful the sound can get mushy real quick.

I'm going to go to Evolutions (had them when I had my Jem, GREAT stuff!) or a JB/Jazz set soon.

Re: I got my paf pro
