Good bridge choice with JB Jr. in neck???

[CoffeeDrinnker71]

I'm building an H/S project. The body is a "Dinky" alder from GMW and a US Charvel San Dimas maple neck, with a German Floyd. I've narrowed the neck choice down to a JB Jr.. What would pair well in the bridge? Possibly going to direct mount the bridge as well. I mostly play rock, jazz-fuzion, metal...some cleans at church (occasionally). Coil splitting would be nice too. Thanks for the help.

A couple of choices I have considering:
JB Trembucker
Perpetual Burn
Distortion

Welcome to the forum!

Well, a JB Jr is usually a bridge pickup, so it is really hot. You'd have to have something equally hot to throw in the bridge, so a JB or Distortion would work if you want more treble or upper mids. Another good choice is either the Custom or Custom 5.

Well, AFAIK, there is a specific JB Jr. *neck*, isn't there?

I agree, though. I'd think the obvious choices would be the JB and the Distortion.

Don't neglect to consider the Alternative 8.

Yes, there is a neck specific model. That's what I planned to use.

Thanks...looking at that now.

Oh right...it is pretty hot for a neck pickup, still. I've actually never used it, though.
