Re: SSL-1 with JB?
I've not played either one, but the general comments I've seen on this is that the JB overpowers the SSL-1. There is quite a disparity in output between the two. Switching between the two is very uneven output wise.

Better to use a Demon with the SSL-1.

Re: SSL-1 with JB?
can the the SSL-3 provide the 'chime'?
for that matter, how about the Demon? i always have a bugging feeling about names like that, because it gives me the impression that it's an overly extreme pickup. not that i don't play stuff that would need it, but i am looking for a great quack in a middle pickup to blend with the JB in the bridge.

Re: SSL-1 with JB?
i think i might be going with the SSL-5 in the middle for its output while still having a good amount of chime.
i want to have humcancelling quack when the bridge JB's slug and the SSL-5 blend.
should i be getting the normal version or the RW/RP version? and what is the difference between tapped and normal?
also, staggered or flat?
the guitar is essentially a HSS, but the neck is actually a sustainer driver coupled with a single-coil. that means there is not much that can be done with the neck pickup.

Re: SSL-1 with JB?
I'm very satisfied with th JB/SSL2 combo. You will definitely get some nice quack, but no humcancelling unless you split the JB.
Split JB/SSL2 also sounds very good although I do not prefer that. Split JB + SSL1 needs the normal version (not RW/RP) if you wire as discribed in the package insert.
