F-spaced alternative to Gibson Burstbucker Pro?

I'm considering a replacement bridge pickup for a Washburn Parallaxe with a SD Distortion TB6. Of all my guitars I like the tone of my 2008 Les Paul the best which has Burstbucker Pros. Trouble is, they don't come in an F-spaced version. The Washburn's pickup is too dark sounding in comparison, lacking the bite and dynamics of the Burstbuckers. Can anyone suggest a good alternative?

I put a Suhr Doug Aldrich humbucker in my super strat. (And two Suhr V60LP single coils too.)

My guitar is an 80's Charvel. It's painted so I'm not exactly sure of the wood? Might be basswood?

I'm not even sure the Aldrich is F-spaced? But I had the install and setup done by a great shop in Nashville, TN USA.

The Aldrich is a really cool pickup. It definitely has a vintage vibe though. Not a lot of string pull so you can get some great tones out of it.

It's not super bright though. It has a warm tone but does cut a mix great. The lows are not muddy at all.
