Mini Humbucker selection

[SchecMan]

I have a JB in the bridge position, and was wondering which mini humbucker would work best in the neck position.

Thanks

The JBb/59n combo is pretty popular, so I would infer that a Lil 59 would be good with a JB Jr., but I've never heard one in the neck. I really like the cool rails in the neck of my Peavey. What kind of guitar is it going in?

assuming you want a usable mid position - not the vintage, it's too low output & you'll get that kinda wah ish sound

but the custom or seymourized should work well, it's just a matter of taste from there. May have to do some pickup height adjustment with the custom though, since it's a bit hotter than the JB

I'd go seymourized

Re: Mini Humbucker selection

wait, did you mean single coil sized humbuckers or actual mini humbuckers?

The p'up is going into a Schecter PT Fastback. The neck p'up is an actual mini humbucker.

I enjoy the Duncan standard Mini/Firebird replacement mini for neck postitions.... Great pickup! I had one in the neck of my LP deluxe and the bridge had the 16k hot version! It was a nice match oddly even with the huge difference in outputs....
