Any humbucker with the hot lead wired in series through a .0022uf will have greatly attenuated bass content.

I’ve always thought each pickup should have its own EQ controls. lol

I feel like parallel gets too far from the sound of a humbucker. Too brittle sounding, IMO.

That's what a cap in series does.

Not necessarily a neck Humbucker, but a 78 Model has the least bass of any pickup I’ve played. It would work as a neck for a higher output bridge, or the custom shop can and has made a neck version before.

These have pretty strong bass. Only the bridge is a little light on the bass.
I have heard the eric johnson dimarzios are light on bass.
Obviously the custom custom too.

+1
A high pass filter can just cut off low frequency at the source. That'll transform any pickup into what the OP is looking for.

if it's Not a 2k $ + over Ax ~ Why not get rid of the H-B , build or buy an s.c ring and install an Single Coil P-up ? as I always have many choices lying around

Super 2 is definitely in the running! Used one in the bridge thinking it was Super 3 and OUCH!

Custom Custom is NOT light on the bottom!! A little loose maybe but they are pretty darned fat!
Now that EJ is very low in output and pretty thin.

LOL I've only used it in the neck with either a Super D or X2N. I don't think I could stand it in the bridge, either.
