the Jazz/ JB combo is very popular, and Seymour's favorite hum combo, according to the site

a pair of 59's would also work for you

I'm not at all a fan of the JB...The 59s or a pair of PGs(Pearly Gates) is very cool....If you need more of say a 59 on steroids in the bridge,you could go with a C5 and a 59n or PGN...

Try the '59 (or Jazz)/JB combo, it's a damn good start. You can tame down the JB by adjusting the vol/tone pots, to achieve a sweeter tone. Then, if you never use the JB at full capabilities, you'll know that you need something quieter, like '59, or PG set.

If you like clean sounds I wouldn't go for any hight output humbucker like the JB or the C5. Try better a mached set like the 59.
