How hot does a neck SC have to be to keep up with a JB?

Get the S4. Great neck pickup. I personally like the output difference between it and a hotter bridge. Diversity in a simple setup. Try a 250K volume pot and 500K tone w/ .022 tone cap. The JB actually sounds better to my ears with 250K vs. 500K. I think it'll be much easier to balance the two as well.

Definitely a 250k pot and lower the JB a little until they balance fairly well.
