JB Jr. vs. L'il 59 for STRAT bridge?!

[Jones_Tones]

Hey - i'm getting a strat soon and debating in my head whether it's a good idea to go with a JB jr or a lil 59 in the bridge position . Based on my axe specs the Tone Wizard told me to go with a JBjr. Although i took a peak at the tone chart and saw it has a lot of high frequencies but more output. To go for a classic to hard rock sound which do u think is a better choice? I'm sure all you experienced axe-slingers can give some good tips. Thanks.

Personally, I think the JB is missing some "balls" if you know what I mean...sounds like its thinner. I would go with lil '59...Iwas going to get that before I found out the s/s/h routing.

Someone here posted a while back and it might have been Lew , saying that the JBjr. neck version works really good in the bridge of a Strat. Might be worth looking into.
