Re: JB bridge + YJM Fury neck
If you don't mind that the YJM Fury isn't very hot, otherwise I would look into an STK-S4b; possibly an STK-S6.
The SSL-6 absolutely kills with a JB, but the BMT for the STK-S6 indicates that it is more bass heavy than the SSL-6, if they are to be trusted.

I think that is a good combo, but there won't be much of a balance between sounds. The Fury isn't really super loud like a JB, which will certainly overpower it. Most people with HS combinations don't care about this, but know that it can be an issue if volume balance is important to you.

Re: JB bridge + YJM Fury neck
I know when I first started asking about S-H setups using a hotter bridge a few years ago, the replies were all over the place. In my experience, I would say you really just have to try it and see how well it does in your particular setup.
Above are two very good examples why...one player doesn't hear a big difference, the other does, despite similar setups (the YJM Neck and SSL-2 are very similar in output)
You typically don't need a crazy powerful single coil in the neck to keep up with a fairly spicy bridge pickup, but there is certainly a limit. The JB is definitely pushing it in this regard. Still, many players have made them work, so there's hope! You could always try something like the YJM bridge in the neck slot if you have one...that would most certainly be a good match for the JB's output.

Re: JB bridge + YJM Fury neck
I agree with many of the above statements. The volume drop, in some cases, doesnt bother me on a few of my guitars. I have a PATB-1 with a YJM neck in an 80s Charvel and it is a pretty good match. PATB-1 similar output to the JB.

Re: JB bridge + YJM Fury neck
After switching to an SSL-6 in the neck I had to jack it pretty high to match the JB.
...but I also enjoy performances of a Cruiser Bridge in the neck spot against an AT-1 in the bridge, despite all the testimonials by guys who couldn't make the same setup work, so there you go!
I wonder what Yngwie would have to say.

He would say anybody using a humbucker period was trying to cover up their inferior playing skills, nevermind a hotter one like a JB. He has ndeed said this very thing many times before in interviews.After switching to an SSL-6 in the neck I had to jack it pretty high to match the JB.

My wallet speaks for me. I have spent a lot of cash on peoples music. I support the industry, always have. I pass on him. Is it music or an athletic competition? My opinion

Re: JB bridge + YJM Fury neck
You're making more out of it than needs to be. I am certainly not defending him, though I will defend his tone over a guy's opinion on tone that I've never heard before; but only because I like his tone, or at least the tone he had when he used DiMarzios.
I love Andy Timmon's tone too and he has a huge discrepancy in output between his bridge and singles when played clean. Now if you think the bridge and singles are balanced or don't hear a huge discrepancy played clean then I'll make a note of it in case you're ever in a position to provide me with advice. The advice is still welcome, because I *do* like and appreciate different points of view.
In the event you didn't read the entire thread, I did say this:
This also very much applies with a parallel conversation I'm having, though the OP wants a noiseless version of Texas Special, which the YJM Fury definitely is not.

Re: JB bridge + YJM Fury neck
Thanks and happy holiday to you as well!
I was 11 and impressionable when Steeler was released. I love No Parole From Rock 'n' Roll and his first two solo albums. Except for the Trilogy Suite instrumental on his third solo album, it was all down hill after that; though Odyssey is still an occasional guilty pleasure.
The in my earlier post was my failed attempt to show my comment was in jest. Yngwie is fair game if you ask me.
