Funny that you perceive the HFS/Vintage Bass combo as bright. The HFS to me sounded very middy whereas the VB was way too bassy (just to avoid the dreaded "m"-word).

Another vote for the Crawler bridge in the bridge spot. That is what I have in my PRS Custom (also a 24 fret model).

I found that in the neck spot of a 24 fret guitar the VHII neck is great. That is what I use in the PRS. It maintains some tightness in the low end but still does not sound thin or overly bright in the highs.

Cheers Stephan

Good call, the neck-VHII stays more focussed than say a Mule-neck, which is imho more lush and even balanced.
Mules, VHII, Crawler, MM's, IT's, BG50's.
