Definitely Jazz, although the 59 comes close.

Re: Fav neck humbucker
I prefer single coils when it comes to neck pickups, so my favorite neck humbuckers have alot of clarity and are generally lower in output than some here might prefer:
1. Seth Lover
2. Antiquity
3. Jazz N
4. 59N
5. Fralin 7.5K

Although I haven't heard it personally, I've heard it described and to me, sounds exactly what I am looking for... the Screamin Demon!

I'm kinda with Lew on this one. Strat-shaped Blue Lace Sensor. Yes, it's a single coil package, but it's supposed to be voiced like a 50's humbucker. It's probably somewhere in between, I don't have a lot of experience with neck humbuckers, but I like it a LOT.

Re: Fav neck humbucker
Ive never heard a jazz neck but ive heard plenty of seth and APH2 neck clips, and even though i absolutely love the seth neck tone for clean jazzy stuff and im gonna put one in my gibson semi-hollow, i voted for alnico 2 pro because its tone on things like slash's neck solos are just phenomenal and its what im definitely putting in my les paul.......when i get one (i love to dream)

Re: Fav neck humbucker
My 59n sound punches me in the back and shakes my innerds when I play live.. and it's fat, glassy and sweet, with an edge that responds nicely to pick attack.
I like the strat neck pickup tone the most. I like the glass, and recently ordered a phat cat stack.. hoping this will be the answer to my Les Paul neck tone.

Split, it´s the next best thing to having an SSL-1 in there. Combined with a Full-Bore custom bridge one of my favorite all around tones right now :smoker:
Full on, it´s not as dark as many think, but rather smooth, ideal for jazz and darker, heavier Blues IMO. With the wrong amp /settings it can get muddy, but I´ve never had that problem. Interesting cleans, almost too much harmonice and midrange for most to call them clean, but they are. I personally like them.
Distorted, its either singing "Ultra-Woman" tone, with a bit of a sparkle and good harmonics. Or, depending on your fingers, its a real cutting stoner Rock tone, or with a bit less gain REEEAL fluid and smooth. But it can get a good bit of Grind going as well
Paired with a custom at the bridge, THE perfect combo for heavier styles, not necessarill rock limited. This is in an alder bodied strat-style with a maple neck and a rosewood or ebony fretboard and a non floating vintage trem. Jackson Custom shop Dinky Reverse, to be precise. :smoker:
Been using that combo in her, my Main axe (the only one ever specifically referred to as "My Jackson", btw) since ´96 and it´s always evolved with me, thru amp and style changes. Never, EVER let me down. Switching is http://www.seymourduncan.com/website/support/schematics/2hum_vol_tone_5way-w-split.html . Has stood the test of time for me, the setup is still spot on perfect, and she´s never even been tweaked or readjusted,or needed it. *EDIT*...(Oh, my bad, the switch was originally wired 100% "in reverse", so pickups switched around on that schematic..Sorry)... Perfect, just plain perfect :smoker:

Re: Fav neck humbucker
I currently have a tweaked '59n that I love. It's crunchy, chunky, cleans up fabulous and is just hot enough(for now) due to the 2 extra magnets I added. A nice blend between Alnico 5 warmth and Ceramic power, tightness and crunch. It sounds big with a dark edge to it. :smokin:
