Reccommend me a good SD P90 & Humbucker combo

[Ljudet]

I am looking for a good and well balanced combo for my modded MIM Fender Jaguar, P90 in the neck and humbucker in the bridge.
I play mostly progressive rock, new wave and dream pop, so I'm looking for a low output pickup combo.
What could be a good match? The pickup selector on the site does not allow such combinations!

I have built a tele partscaster with a Seymour Duncan Antiquity P90 in the neck and a JB in the bridge and that is a good combination for this guitar. Mahogany body, custom homemade copper pickguard and a Fender Bullet neck. I imagine a Seymour Duncan 59, Antiquity or Seth lover bridge humbucker would work well. For the neck a Seymour Duncan vintage P90 would work well.

How about a firebird pickup in the bridge and a p-90 in the neck. Sort of Neil Young style. The holes are about the same size for the Antiquity Mini and an Antiquity p-90. Some routing may be required.

I just got a P90 humbucker size for my LP style guitar, to be paired with a DiMarzio DP100 Super Distortion... literally just got it a few days ago so, no time to install it yet. Matched the combo that Tom Scholz has from Boston... though I don't have the rest of his rig, hopefully helps get me close to that sound.

Welcome to the forum!

If you tend to focus more on cleaner styles up to not-quite-metal-levels of distortion, you might consider the Vintage P90 neck with a 59 in the bridge. You have a great platform for processing as well as tight lows in the bridge. This combo will balance well, too.
