Gretsch Pro jet Pickups

Howdy GFSA folks

I looking into changing my pickups on the pro jet. It currently has the standard mini humbuckers it comes off the factory floor. I want a bit of a hotter pickup in the bridge and maybe a p-90 type pickup in the neck. I've been looking at TV Jones and at Guitar Fetish. So what i want to know basically what should I go for. What other options are there. Any comments welcome, especially from anyone who has a gretsch and or similar guitar that has changed the pups at some point.

Thanx

TV Jones FTW! Gretsch themselves use the TVJ pickups on their better models.

I've got the standard Filtertrons in my Duo Jet and I'm very happy with them. That said, my buddy who plays JEMs and Les Pauls feels they're lacking a bit of bite for his taste.

TV Jones are awesome pickups. I've heard a Power Jet and it sounds pretty hot.

Personally, I really like the sound of the Dynasonics. Would love to get a white Penguin.

That's understandable - they are bright and chimey, but the highs are very smooth and sweet sounding.

I played a Country Gentleman with the Gretsch FilterTrons back to back with a White Falcon with the TVJs and, while the Gretsches are really nice pickups, the TVJs do have a certain something special.
