I can give you the "before" right now. The current configuration is the original hi-blow tron in the neck and a ceramic filtertron at the bridge. I relatively recently figured out the filter was ceramic. I bought it from Duke Kramer in like 1989 and figured it was old stock--but it turns out he was also selling new production parts as well.
The ceramic filters have a very stinging sound, to me in some ways similar to the Mosrite pickups, which is why I'm hesitant to put this Mosrite pick up on the bridge. I joined this forum largely as I thought if there were anyone who experimented with Mosrite pick ups it would be you guys, and I'm interested in any feedback from the experience.
The guitar with the current situation records well, it's not hard to make things sound good with Neumann mics, Echoplexes and blackface Deluxe Reverb amps. But live it lacks.
The subject guitar is the the one at the very beginning and not the slide / wah wah one that follows.

I got hooked on the 3 pickup thing when I put one in my trusty Jazzmaster. I realized I could do a decent take on Strat tones without having to play a Strat!
I think you can reasonably match the Mosrite pickup at the bridge with the P90 at the neck. My Dynasonics come in over 10.5K so the output is pretty close to the Mosrite pickups - close enough that you could fine tune the pickup match by height adjustment.
He even made me the "meshuggeneh" sign post pickguard!
