A Combo for My Solid Body 12 String?

[Martian]

I'd like your opinions please:

I have a Burns Double-6. The styles of music I play on it are 60s - 70s Rock and Pop and general, contemporary rhythm stuff. I am having a new pickguard made for it which will be for 2 full sized humbuckers.

My amp is a completely overhauled and nicely tweaked 60's Danelectro DM-10 tube amp. I use a custom gauged, Ernie Ball .009 12 string set.

I am leaning toward a CC in the bridge and a 59b in the neck. Any one have any comments on my pickups choice?

59b in the neck?
can you do that or is that a typo?

Sure, it's slightly more powerful than a neck model but it's essentially the same pickup. I figure it would balance output wise a hair better with the CC's output.

Hhhmmmmmmmmm?? If I had a twelve string I would want.
-Tight and percussive bass response with an attenuated midrange.
-Warm and fat treble response.
-Very fast, detailed and sensitive.
-Low output that doesn't distort no matter how hard its pushed. Slightly compressed.
-A 3D harmonic structure that sounds open and alive.

Maybe an underwound five two humbucker?

I imagine that it would also be very very bassy, because the bridge position p'up isnt getting a lot of bass from the strings themselves. Try picking right by the bridge to see what i mean.

But i could be wrong..........
