SH-6n in bridge position?

[Supernautilus]

I was looking at the SH-6 as I wanted to try something with ceramic dynamics. But I’m not after something super high output. Would the SH-6n be suitable in the bridge position if I’m interested in ceramic tone in a more medium output pickup?

I've done that. It's a Duncan Distortion tone that's not as hot, would be the best way to describe it.

Oh really? I don’t really know the history of that pickup so that’s interesting.

I've tried it too. It's alright. Kinda like a thined down Duncan Distortion with a little Custom thrown in.

I liked it. Didn't love it. I like the Duncan Distortion better. But for what you want, maybe you'll dig it. I'd say it's around the output level of a JB.

Tried it in a Charvel-a tad too bright, so i went with an Alt8 instead.

I still have in a strat and love it, super versatile in parallel with a push/pull pot, but i still have an Alt8 in the drawer.
