Piezo saddle gone bad

Hi everybody! (Hi Dr. Nick! 😁)
It's been a while since I've been here.
My Silhouette Special A string saddle needs changing. I already emailed costumer service. They said I'd need a whole new set of Petrucci saddles since there's no more old saddles in stock. The guitar was made in 2010, which means I'd probably need a new preamp as well.

Has anyone ever tried any other brands of saddles on the stock preamp? Graphtech or Fishman? Or some other? I noticed that Fishman Powerbridge saddles look identical to the stock Music Man saddles.
 
Hi there,

Did you end up going with the full Music Man bridge set or did you go with another option?

I’m asking because I also have Piezo issues on the JP6 20th, the B string Piezo is low volume compared with the others.

Thanks!
