Good bridge pup for a Benedetto A6 neck?

Hi There! I'm going to be installing a Benedetto A6 in the neck position of my '95 Ibanez AF120. I play clean, mostly jazz, looking for suggestions for a good complement in the bridge position. Any thoughts? Thanks!

Mind you, I've never used them. But it sounds like a great combo. :)

The Benedetto PAF is also a great choice for a sound closer to what would have been in the bridge of some of those old semi-hollows. An Antiquity is also a great choice.

I would say put a PAF in the neck and the A6 in the bridge. I could sell you mine.

the a6 is a great pup, a friend of mine builds archtops and has used them a few times. havent heard the bene paf but im sure its a nice sounding pup
 
Quick Update: I went ahead and installed 2 Benedetto A6's in my Ibanez AF120, and I am stunned at the improvement! These p'ups are so clean, smooth, even and articulate. I'm most impressed with the clarity on the lower notes, just as clear and articulate (am I repeating myself?) as the higher notes, like I've never heard in another guitar or pickup...
 
These are a kind of pickup we don't read enough about here. I am happy they work for you. I'd love to try them in a semi-hollow, and see how they compare to something like Antiquities.
