Ok, so I've decided to go with the JB in the bridge of my Schecter (when I get around to all this anyways). However, upon asking some people today about the Jazz or Full Shred to go in the neck, instead of narrowing it down to one it has now become a choice between the Jazz and Alnico Pro II.
To describe what I'm looking for:
I currently have a DiMarzio PAF Pro in the neck spot. While it sounds nice clean and for dirty lead sounds, it gets muddy and boomy for distorted chording/rhythm. I'm looking for a neck pickup that has a nice clean sound (full or split), retains clarity under pretty high gain as I run through a Mesa Rectoverb, is not too heavy bass-wise, and can get a smooth, articulate lead tone.
I also look for versatility, as my band plays covers of bands such as early Incubus, 311, early Creed, Tool, etc. and will then go on to play our original songs which I require the cleans and lead tones for.
I realize a lot of the covers I mentioned will play heavily on the bridge pickup, and the JB should do just fine in that respect
