Best bridge humbucker for Cover Band

[lttoler]

I am in a cover band doing all kinds of stuff from Rolling Stones to Metallica. I am wanting to try Dimarzio pickups for the first time and am pretty set on using the Humbucker from Hell in the neck position of my HH Tele. What is a really versatile Dimarzio pickup that sounds good clean and coil spilt, and can also do harder and mid gain rock very well?

PAF Pro will be your pickup I think.

Does it coil split and if so how do it sound that way? And how does it sound overdriven? Can it do harder rock/metal types?

its awesome, whatever you do with it.. overdriven ? listen to Paul Gilbert !

for a little more output there is a Mo' Joe..

I was also going to suggest a PAF pro or a Joe/Mo Jo. I have one of each of those in my Jem and JS1200, they are both very versatile, and capable of either cleaning up quite well, or being overdriven. Both are coil split in their respective guitars, and sound quite nice. I typically play instrumental (Vai, satch, etc) to hard rock/metal (AC/DC, Ozzy, Priest, Maiden, Metallica) and both fit the bill quite nicely.

PAF Pro all the way! It's very much the happy medium between all Dimarzios...

[lttoler]

Which is more versatile for all styles, the Mo'Joe or the PAF Pro for the bridge. Are their any differences other than output? Can the PAF Pro do heavier stuff like modern rock and Metallica?

PAF Pro is an awesome pickup, and can do just about anything...

Mo' Joe is a great pickup as well. Either one can do a very good variety of stuff.

The Paf Pro is great split... great in general. For a little more muscle with the Paf vibe, the Norton in the bridge, it's pretty good split too.

Okay. How much more output will the Norton have over the PAF Pro? Any how do both of these compare to the Mo'Joe? I am the only guitarist if that matters. I've been using a JB and don't want to lose too much output but don't wannt gain any.

PAF Pro is a good pickup.

Look into the Super Distortion as well, it'd get a bit more of a vintage '70s vibe better suited for Stones work, but it can also drive hard to do the Metallica stuff.
