59'b & what?

[Indie P Bass]

Hey, guys, I'm gonna change out the p/us on my paul... but I don't know with what. I guess I could use a little help.

I want a 59'b, but I'm not sure what kind of neck pickup to use.... I play stuff like Fall Out Boy, My Chemical Romance and Thursday, so, the 59'b may not be my best choice. My most used pickup right now is a Dimarzio Super D. I'm actually considering a JB bridge witha 59'n....

So, what do ya'll think?

Actually, I'd go with a Pearly Gates in the neck and a Custom in the bridge. Clear neck with plenty of muscle, and a hot bridge with a ton of clarity and chunk.

I think Tom (the skinny guy) in Thursday uses an SG with 2 JBs. Steve (the chunky one) uses a Hot Rails humbucker bridge.

I also think this would be very suitable for your styles, perhaps a Jazz neck but I've only played the Pearly Gates Plus, so I'm not really sure if you'd like it better than the Jazz. For your styles I'd go Jazz neck though
