DiMarzio Steve Morse Neck Pup (In The Bridge!)

[HKZSquared]

So I got the idea to try my new Steve Morse Neck in the bridge of my cheap Jackson superstrat (basswood body, maple neck, and rosewood fb, 22 frets). Wow. I was somewhat expecting that I'd regret it, but I can't believe my ears, it sounds wonderful through my little Acoustic G20. It's a very clean pickup when on the clean channel. It has a lot of "oomph" but not enough to overpower. While under heavy gain it has a really 80s-to-grungey tone based on how I use my tone knob. I read that Morse mainly uses it when he solos in the upper frets, and I can hear why. In the higher frets, it had a really unforgiving tone that complemented accurate sweeps and fast picking.
Overall first impression:
It's staying for a while. A long while.

Will add more later as I get to play more.
Anyone else here really like the Morse neck pup?

It's not uncommon to put a neck pup in the bridge position to get a very clean tone, due to the usual fewer winds and lower output compared to the bridge pup.
