Is the only difference in the Duncan Designed HB103 neck and bridge pickups that the bridge is trem spaced? Unlike the US pickups, the site doesn't break down the specs on these.

I picked up an HB103 bridge pickup for super cheap, decided it was worth the a few bucks to try it in either the bridge or neck position on a few of my guitars. If it sucks, it goes "BYE BYE", but it may find a home. Just wondering if I could use it in the neck spot effectively. I hear it sounds more like a Jazz than a '59 in tone in the neck.

There's actually quite a big difference between the neck and bridge. The D. C. Resistance in the neck is 8.13K and in the bridge is 17.08K.

It sounds like a TB-6 Duncan Distortion owing to the ceramic magnet and the ultra hot wind.

I hope that helps.
