Re: DD users what are you all using in the neck spot?
I like my DD neck a lot. But then again, its still "new" to me, and I play through a modeller - not an "amp".
Its sorta like a JB on steroids. Has the same characteristic tone of the JB . . . but more. I have it mated with a JB in the bridge, and I may have to swap the two around to balance them out better.

Re: DD users what are you all using in the neck spot?
i'm really curious in this discussion too
I'm about to be replacing the bridge for a customer's guitar (one of my singlecuts) and making an all mahogany double cutaway
i'm interested in the DD and the Custom for bridges
and interested in neck pickups that match
i was never a big fan of the jazz -and i found it too precussive but that was in a guitar with a maple top and maple neck
which is really different
what are your jazz's in

Re: DD users what are you all using in the neck spot?
ive used two pups mated with a distortion in the bridge. one was a jb which gave a huge fat tone that was killer for solos, the other was the jazz which is a much different tone but still very cool. many people use the 59n and ive even installed a few jazz bridge models and 59b's with distortions wth good results. the jazz bridge was nice cause it still has all the clarity but a little more output and girth to the sound

Re: DD users what are you all using in the neck spot?
so my idea of putting an aph2 in the neck of an all mahogany guitar with either a DD or a custom in the bridge ain't going to cut it
so with the DD bridge - i should go either DD, 59, jazz, or JB in the neck
we're after a very "modern" tone

Re: DD users what are you all using in the neck spot?
I've used a PG, Full Shred, Distortion, Cool Rails and Hot Rails in the neck matched with a bridge Distortion. All of them match up quite well. But they all have their own individual character. For metal/shred, I would recommend either the Distortion of Full Shred in the neck. For a little more verstility and sparkling cleans, I would say the Pearly Gates or another PAF type pickup would work great. If you have a single coil sized route, either the Hot Rails or Cool Rails work great in combo with the Distortion.

Re: DD users what are you all using in the neck spot?
travis what i think i am after is maybe a more smooth output transition when going from the roar of the DD at the bridge to the neck tone?
i was thinking maybe i ought to just try a DD neck since it is a ceramic hotter neck pup?
my only concern is that i wish not to LOSE the spank that i get from the jazz?
i dont want a real thick neck tone that has no "cut"

Re: DD users what are you all using in the neck spot?
I had a Duncan distortion set in a LP for quite awhile. The DDn is a very cool pickup that has quite a bit of girth and just enough juice to balance with the DDb without sounding murky. The cleans are suprisingly good for the output and under gain for lead work it screams. I found that it's sort of an in between pickup. It hits vintage type amps hard enough to get them over driving but it'snot so hot that it sounds overly compressed through high gain amps.
The SEYL is one of the best kept secrets SD has out there.

Re: DD users what are you all using in the neck spot?
so, if you guys had a choice, which would you do
2 guitars
1) LP RI (that the closest tone to my singlecutaway) (59 neck and either custom or distortion bridge)
2) doublecutway (mahogany body and neck - think prs standard
(distortion/jazz/aph2 neck; custom/distortion bridge)
we're after that modern rock sound for both

If you like the Jazz but want more power try the Screaming Demon in the neck with the row of allen toward the bridge .
But don't do it if you have a 22 cases neck and/or if your guitar is not bright enough .

I had the jazz in a guitar with a DD and liked it. I bet the aph would be great with it also.
