AIIPro and 59b

[JPP]

After looking at the various pick-up options, I'm thinking of using an AIIPro in the neck of my Epi LP and a 59 in the bridge. I play primarily with cleans and do lots of bluesy and jazzy stuff. However, I also play a lot of classic rock (mostly Zeppelin, Cream) and need good distortion as well. I want a very smooth and sweet distortion tone, one without any buzz, but one that can also give a little blues snarrel. What I DON'T want is a compressed and artificial sounding tone. I want a transparent, organic tone that is warm, but has some "twang" to it. So, what d'ya think? Will the AIIPro (neck) and 59 (bridge) work well for this tone and will they complement each other well?

Thanks!

I'd just go with the set of either pickup, that is, APH set or 59 set. Personally, I like the APH much more than the 59.

If you like slashes tone I would recommend the A2pro both neck and bridge for a paul, definelty smooth, and creamy, and articulate and good under gain.

The 59 Bridge has a clear, but also fat tone. But i can't compare it with the A2pro bridge.
That's an interesting question about a AII and A-V combo.
I thought about a jazz neck - CC combo.
