Re: PAF type pickups in Basswood.
I'm no expert on basswood guitars, but Joe Satriani seems to be a good indication of what a PAF/Basswood combo will give you. Basswood has an even balance with a full midrange, so maybe it would even accentuate the mids more.

Custom Custom in my maple veneer/basswood G&L Legacy Deluxe, and it beat out the C-5 and JB in that guitar.

Re: PAF type pickups in Basswood.
This wood gained popularity in the 80s and for a time was probably the most used wood for locking tremolo guitars. It is very light weight and produces a fairly even and full mid-range response throughout the entire band width. Many people feel it is extremely well matched with humbucking pickups(ANY) because it produces a lot of the same frequencies that humbuckers easily reproduce. This is not to say that single coil tones aren't great as well. Toward the end of the late 80s, a few other species of woods were mistakenly thought to be basswood and this seemed to lead to a decline in basswood's popularity. However, true basswood does produce a very pleasing midrange tone
