@lolwat - nice. When I tried the Breed in my RG, I also liked it a lot, and agree with you about it being refined. I also came from Evos, though if I had two RGs, I'd put an Evo in the other so I have more variety.
Here's how I'd compare my experience with pickups I've tried:
* Evo - loud and raunchy with a lot of harmonic content, great for aggressive solos. Neck Evo is also loud, but more tight
* D-sonic - Similar to Evo, but more tight (comparing d-sonic 7 to Evo7)
* PAF Joe - Comparable to Duncan '59s, but has more output. It has that brightness and punch, works well with my aged RG
* Air Norton - Dark and warm. I'd say it is far from the Evos and the PAFs.
* Blaze bridge - tight sounding, output is not as high as Evo, but good for rhythm. It lacks punch for my taste
* Tone Zone - Warm, the sound is a bit far from the Evos and D-sonics.
* SD JB bridge - bright and has a lot of bite. It is high output enough, but not as high output as the evo
* SD Duncan Custom - A bit similar to Tone zone (if I recall it right), but it is a bit brighter
* SD Jazz - bright and punchy, this is my favorite pickup, next to the '59
* SD '59 - bright and punchy with a bit more mid vs. the Jazz.
* SD Alnico II Pro - a bit darker than '59, bordering Air Norton territory
Sana ma try ko in the future yung Duncan Distortion or the Dimarzio Super Distortion, medyo legends kasi yang mga yan.
* Gibson 490R - I would equate this to the Air Norton, but with lesser output. Very warm (bordering muffled). I had to replace this with a '59 since I'm not into dark-sounding pickups
* Gibson 498T - High output humbucker with a lot of harmonics... I'd say as strong as an Evo (but not same tone), and it is not as refined as a Breed. But I like it, so I kept it in my Standard and do not plan to replace it.
Ibanez Inf1/2 - nice sounding pickups, I recall they sound tight, good for cleans, but lacks "punch", and not as high output as the Dimarzios
Ibanez V7/V8 - actually they are okay, a good amount of mids, but they lack some character, I don't know how to describe. Basta parang nakukulangan ako... although baka psychological lang, kasi parang automatic Dimarzio replacement agad pag bumili ng Ibanez, hehe.
