Suggestions for my Hum/Sing/Hum

I am going to be buying a Basswood body/Rosewood fretboard guitar soon, and I need some help on deciding the neck and middle pickups. I have decided on the JB for my bridge, because in my current guitar it sounds just like I want it (I didn't realize the power of the JB till I turned my distortion pedal's gain to 45%... less distortion is more!!).

However, I'd in my neck I'd lik e a pup that can cut through for solos and the middle I want something good for clean tones, and if possible, I want a middle pickup that doesnt hum!

Using the JB, my metal sound is like a AC/DC crunch. I'd like to make sure the Neck pup will be well suited for soloing with my not-so-crazy amount of distortion.

Thanks!!!

You guys rock, and so does Seymour Duncan!!!!! :)

Wouldn't that be.. pointless as i have one in my bridge? What would you think of a Vintage Rails? I was thinking about it... since it has the clean I want. And about the JB Jr.... my JB at least seems to have too much treble for a great clean

by the way, I'm sorry if I'm being an ass :D

I'd like something like a Vintage Flat in humbucker form... I think the Vintage Rails can accomplish that.. and if anyone would like to confirm it, that'd be nice.. I guess all I need to decide on is a neck pup

hmm, well my suggestions for neck would be either Dimarzio's paf pro or Duncan's 59.
as for the single in the middle i would say Lace Blue. Usually for single coils i would go lace, its almost noiseless and the tones from those pups are just great for me.
you can check them out at www.agi-lace.com

hope this helps.
