SHS Jaguar-oid. Mojotone Knockout + JB Jr. Wiring Suggestions.

[Danyosound]

My custom built "Naughty-Caster" from DWGuitars came in the mail to my specifications... mostly.

Pickups
2 Mojotone "Knockout" for Jaguar pickups with 1 JB Jr (bridge pup) in the middle.

Switches
3-way (Mojotone, JB Jr, Both); 3 way (one coil, the other coil, both); 2-way (series-parallel)

Sounds I want
1) Jag Neck
2) Jag Bridge
3) Jag Neck + Bridge
4) Humbucker (as full as possible, given it's a single coil sized humbucker)
5-6) Quack and Cluck (notch positions 2 and 4 on strat, by splitting humbucker and adding Jag single)

Pots
1 meg and 500k CTS
(I wanted the 500k as the tone and the 1 meg as volume, but I got the reverse (I should fix that))

The Problem
The JB Jr sounds weak and is way too bassy-mid-rangey (too dark).

I'm thinking of wiring the JB Jr without a tone control. I want it is as hot as I can get it. But I also want it to sound nice when I split it and add it to the Mojotone pickups for some notch sounds.

I do not like overly dark pickups, but I do like 'thick' pickups.
The Mojotones sound great (sounds a little P90ish, and not too ice-picky).

Suggestions?

Try the JB Jr in parallel.

I had a JB Jr in my Jaguar, I wanted a HB sound out of it so I thought it could be a good candidate. Nope.
I think the problem IS the JB jr, maybe the only disappointing pickup I bought from SD.
As Idsnowdog said, try it in parallel but don't expect miracles, I'd look for a normal single coil instead, a SSL1 for example, in middle poisition it has a sound that comes close to the middle position of a normal Jag (close, not equal)
