Dimarzio AT-1 bridge with SD '59 neck

[Catanduva]

Is this a good idea?

If not, anyone knows a good Dimarzio humbucker to pair with AT-1 that can do cleans and some distortion (not too much)?
I want a vintageish sound on the neck.

Dimebag used a dimbucker and a 59 for paf tone in the neck.It should work great.

The AT-1 is pumping a lot of low mids, an A5 pickup in the neck might be a mismatch tone wise. Try a 59 with an A2, it makes it less boomy in the lows and adds enough mids to make it sing a bit better.

Air Norton would be a good match, has nice mids

agree 36th is a sweet pup! I dont really go for dimarzio but lately they have come out with some models that i like(air classics,36th's,AT-1 and liquifire)
if you use the at1 with a liquifire you basically have the dimarzio set that is in the Ebmm axis guitar. tone wise they are very friggin close
