lil 59 bridge in the NECK position

[fretburner]

Hi All!

Someone is selling a lil 59 bridge cheap here so it got me thinking -- how would it sound if I put it in the NECK position on my American Standard Strat?

I already have a JB Jr. on the bridge position, even with the higher output of the lil 59 bridge in the neck position, it wouldn' be a problem right?

it shouldnt be a problem at all. maybe a little dark but there are ways to fix it if its a problem. the lil 59 bridge model sounds fantastic in the middle position, a very cool tone

yeah... i just looked at the tonechart again and the difference in resonant peaks is quite large and the "loss of brightness" should be significant.

what can i do with about this?

btw, my friend has a JB (full size) in the NECK position in his RG470 at it sounds awesome. I wonder if I'd get the same effect since the lil humbuckers are supposedly close to the full sized hums right?
