Did you replace your PAF Pro's?

[pfrischmann]

Hi guys,
I got my hands on a '88 Jem777DY....Finally!
It's in really good shape but the Paf pro's are a little microphonic.
I was about to pull them to send back to dimarzio and I got to Thinkin'

I really like the position 2 and 4 cleans sounds but I could use a sligtly fatter bridge tone and a slightly brighter neck tone.

anybody replace the paf pro's?

I should mention. I'm not a fan of the evo. High powered pickups in general compress too much for my tastes...

Thanks,
Paul

replace paf-pros wwwwhat hell no ive got a 777vdy and theres no chance of me changing pups,that said if you want to change yours go for it bro,whatever floats ya boat

I like the PAF Pros, but you should put whatever works for you in there. If you swap them out, I would hold on to the original pups though.

I put De-Activator X pups in my custom and I love them!!

keep the originals like folk have said...
for a pumped PAF sound there is always mo' joe paf joe or paf pro fred combo's

I'd keep the originals, after Dimarzio re-pots them. They squeal like a stuck pig right now.
Dimarzio can get them back to usable for $25.00 each and won't mess with the bobbins, which is cool as I'll never get pickups to match the fading of the other parts......

One of the guys at dimarzio suggested a Breed neck for the bridge and a PAF Jo for the neck.

That could be interesting,

I need to spend more time with it before I do anything, I was just curious if others had similar experiences.

nope PAF pros still original on mine...

My jem77BFP have got evo neck and evo2 in it. It's really up to you.

Why pay Dimarzio to re-pot them for $50 when you can do it yourself? All you need is some paraffin wax and beeswax.

Get ya an old crockpot from Goodwill and melt your wax, dip the pickups....done! Pretty easy stuff.
