I have heard them in a Maple Jazz box and they were not too bright at all. I think it sounds like a decent idea.

I had a MM Axis with P-90s at one time. It was not overly bright at all. People call swamp ash "bright", but I didn't get that in my Axis. My experience with swamp ash is that it has pronounced highs and lows, with little midrange.

Because If you are wanting a nice balanced tone, I think that'd be great.
But if you want full on P-90 action, you could do double phatties.
I suggested the 59 because you were worried about it being to bright. I figure you could rythm with the P-90 and turn on the bridge for a solo or what not, I dont like 2 of the same pickup on a guitar, it just seems pointless, unless you like 2 nearly identical sounds.

Actually, for a nice, balanced tone, a calibrated set would be the mutt's nuts.
Even if it weren't a calibrated set and you ended up using two of the exact same model pickups (a pair of bridge position PC's for example), the sound of each pickup is far from the same as its neck or bridge counterpart. This is simply due to the pickup's position and the excursion of the string at each given position.
Think aout it.
The Phat Cat in the bridge is definately not too bright, I have a set in a maple semi-hollow and they sound great for everything from clean jazz, country, and funk, all the way to high gain hard rock.
