'No load' is fine for the neck, but makes the bridge pretty bright.

really it's a difference in the center block with the dot's being mahogany and the sheratons being maple. the basic construction of laminated top, back, sides, and maple necks is the same so there's really not that much difference in tone than the dot being ever so slightly warmer with a very slight sag, and the sheraton being just a tad brighter and stiffer in feel.
that said, i really liked the phat cat in the neck and PG bridge setup i had for a while. i changed the magnets from a2 to a5/a2 in the phat cat, and a4 in the bridge because i didn't like the highs as rounded. it was a cool combo, but the guitar itself needed some work i couldn't do, so i pulled the set and use it in my mockingbird now. but, i really liked the tones i was getting-fat and bright with lots of raunchy breakup in the bridge, with more of the same along with good clarity in the neck.

+1. I have a '59 in the bridge and a Jazz in the neck of my Epi Dot. So I would vote for either the '59 set or '59 Jazz combo. I can honestly say I wouldn't care for an a2 humbucker in that guitar at all, not even the PGs.
