Another Spacing Question

I'm replacing a set of Duncan Designed HB-102s (schecter C-1 Elite - thanks to all who have helped out on my other question on this swap). The SD website says the following:

"The HB-102 was modeled after Seymour's favorite humbucker combination, the USA-made SH-4 JB™ bridge and SH-2n Jazz Model™ neck set. Like the HB-101s, these pickups also use Alnico 5 magnets, but have a hotter winding spec, based on the world's most popular "hot-rodded" humbucker. The bridge pickup is Trembucker-spaced."

So, if I'm replacing, I obviously should use a Trembucker for the bridge. But the description is conspicuously silent on the neck pickup. If the bridge pickup is trem spaced, does that mean that the neck is, too? Or does the lack of specificity mean that the neck pickup is standard spaced?

Neck pickups don't come tremspaced from what I know, I don't think it matters if the pickup is tremspaced in the neck, standard and tremspaced sound alike there.

Well, standard and tremspaced are supposed to sound alike....

But yes, spacing isn´t an issue at the neck, any standard spaced neck (or bridge, if so inclined) humbucker will work fine.... single coils only come in 1 spacing anyway ;)

Thanks, guys. I've learned more about pickups in the past month than I had in the prior 20 years. Awesome forum!
