Hey guys. Was wondering what you guys might be able to advice me with based on the thread title. I have a Dimarzio Crunch Lab installed in one of my Teles. However, it's still too high output for me, even with me backing the pickup away really far away from the strings. However, I do like how the higher strings sound rather rounded off, and not bright like some other pickups do. Let me know your thoughts

Dark, medium to high output = Tone Zone or Dominion

Breed Bridge

Airzone.

Is tweaking the amp controls an option?

Done that, but you can tell it is driving the front end quite a bit, even with the pickup screwed down as low as possible

Ever considered the AT-1?
I would not consider it as dark or dull, since it has lots of like something everyone refers to "complex harmonics". I can't describe it better. But there is no ice pick, and it is well rounded in the highs and upper mids, and the "main" mids sit just right to work perfectly with modern hot rodded Marshall tones.
It's just a very, very good sounding bridge pickup, for me it is THE bridge pickup, I like it even better than the Music Man Axis custom.
It may or may not be best suited for fast tuned down higain riffing, since this is not, what I play.

Breed Bridge

This. 

Medium output. Dark-ish. Mild mannered. No ice-pick, no harshness.

Ok. Anyone who has A/Bed between the Gravity Storm bridge and the Breed bridge? Comtemplating between the two

[sveto]

The Gravity Storm Br has definitely less low mids, so it's sounding more balanced than the Breed Br. The Breed is just too bottom heavy with an alder body and 010 strings IMO.

Breed Bridge, Air Zone, or AT-1.

The Breed is just too bottom heavy with an alder body and 010 strings IMO.

Once you add some maple (either cap or neck/fb) to the mix, it balances out.
Same happened for my ToneZone.

Vice versa, the Breed Neck was too jangly up top (with big bottom) in my alder/maple Charvel So-Cal, but fits perfect in an all mahogany+ebony Gibson V's neck position. Gives me that big Les Paul neck tone.
