Seth Lover or Jazz w/Custom Custom in LP?

I just put in a Custom Custom as a bridge pickup in my mahogany/maple cap, mahogany/rosewood neck LP, and I'm trying to decide which neck pup to use. I'm thinking either a Seth Lover, or a Jazz. I play mostly blues and classic rock through a small tube combo amp. Any suggestions?

Seth Lover would be my choice of the two. Nice and smooth, but with the ability to get a little rude if necessary. Blues and classic rock are it's forte's. The Jazz will be brighter and more articulate. Annother choice for what you mentioned is the APH. A little smoother, sweeter and slightly more balanced than the Seth.

I have a CC/APH combo in my Hamer and I'll tell you I love it to death. The cleans I can get from the middle position are nothing short of amazing.

A lot depends on the character of the wood in your particular guitar -- if it's on the dark side, go with a brighter/thinner pickup (Jazz) and if it's a bright guitar with plenty of bite, go with something a little warmer and smoother (Alnico 2 Pro).

Seeing as how you have a CC in it, which is a smooth warm pickup as bridge pu's go, and you aren't complaining about it, you'd probably be happier with the Alnico 2 Pro.

All good choices given. My choice is the Jazz. It's my favorite neck humbucker. :D

My 2 cents ... I have an ESP that's agathis (mahogany-like) with maple cap, and I have Jazz/JB. Sounds bright, but good. I think that's mainly the Jazz "talking". Not sure.

I'd go Seth or APH-1 myself...

Sth or APH1 for classic tones
If you need a lot of clarity, then Jazz all the way!
