Re: Dimebucker in neck position
Dude, relax. Saturday is usually pretty slow on here
Shouldn't be any phase issues, but I'd make sure to put a sh*t hot pickup in the bridge, too. Some really hot pickups are great for the neck (JB, EMG 81) so who knows, it might be cool.

Re: Dimebucker in neck position
A lot of people on here say the Dimebucker isn't all that hot??? I'll go with your advice unless I hear something different - I've always wondered about JB in the neck too. Every now and again I'll come across some one/guitar with that setup. So some possibilities might be:
Dime n + Distortion b, Jb b, Full Shred b, Invader b

Re: Dimebucker in neck position
From what I understand, the Dimebucker is really hot, but not as hot as, say, the Invader.
I'd go more aggressive than the JB in the bridge if you do a Dime in the neck.

Re: Dimebucker in neck position
Realize that if you put a Dimebucker in the neck it'll be really bassy, since bridge pickups are overwound to counteract the trebliness near the bridge. By lowering it enough to balance it out (and thus lowering the output), you may find that you can use some pickups in the bridge that wouldn't have been possible before.

Re: Dimebucker in neck position
There was a guy back home who put a pair of Dimebuckers in his Mike Mushok Ibanez baritone. I would have liked to hear how that sounded.
As far as having a hot pickup in the neck, the Distortion is one of my favorite neck pickups and I don't have any problems with it turning to mud. Giver her a go and if it doesn't work for you, exchange it.
