Swamp ash. What P90 neck would pair up well with a JB bridge? The volume and tone pots are 500k.

The antiquity but waxed or the vintage but with A2 mags are on my radar. I'm set on A2s(*). What other mods for a custom shop P90 would compliment the mighty JB when played in parallel?

(*)I'm also open to suggestions on the mags. I like the sound of A5 rods in a neck single coil and I like the sound of A2 HBs neck and bridge. Yes the JB is A5 but it cleans up so well with non master volume amps and no pedals. A clean boost and wah are all I use.

Any of them. I would go Phat Cat cuz it's easier to deal with, plus it's almost noiseless since it's completely shielded. Sounds great with a JB.
 
I'd try a stock Antiquity first, which may be the best sounding P90 I've ever heard. It is also a very dynamic pickup across many different levels of gain.
 
I'd be tempted to put a Duncan Antiquity Mini-Humbucker in there. The one mounted in a P90 size. Those are alnico 2

Or one like Brent Mason uses:
