Too much Output/'59,JB,Jazz?What to do?

I recently received a Seymour Duncan DimeBucker and a Seymour Duncan JB for my birthday to have installed in my B.C. Rich Warlock Deluxe. I played the JB and a '59 combo in a Schecter PT Blackjack (which I purchased) and loved the tone it provided. I just realized that instead of the JB I was supposed to ask for the '59 to compliment the Dimebucker (Dimebags setup). My problem is that with my work schedule and the location that the items were purchased at it will take me around a week or so to have the pick ups switched,while if I keep what I have I can have them installed and have the guitar back inside of 2 days tops. So my question is this,is it worth it to do that? Switch them because they are 2 high output pickups recommended for the bridge position or just have the pick ups placed in the guitar anyway. I mean I liked the tone of the JB and it should have a meatier tone than the '59 in theory.I won't be playing much clean tones on the guitar anyway and it will be played in drop B tuning,it's going to be my metal axe so it should'nt matter should it? And if I do switch the JB for the '59 I heard that the jazz pick up Duncan offers has even more clarity and highs with less output and would complement the Dimebucker as well.I already saw a Bernie Rico Jr that had a Jazz/JB combo and it sounded awesome. HELP!! Any advice will be greatly appreciated thanks.
 
Re: Too much Output/'59,JB,Jazz?What to do?

The JB can be used in the neck position, but if you want Dimes setup and you know you really like the "59" tone you should get what you really want.

You can do a 21 day exchange directly through Duncan as an option to returning it to the store. Just call to get an RA number and send it off. I'm not sure this would be any quicker though than waiting until you can get back to the store though.

Hey thanx,I held out and waited and got the '59 for the Dimebag set up. I figured even though the Jazz did sound clearer and cleaner,I wouldn't really notice because the '59 is going to sound waaaaayyy better than what I have in there anyway.Plus I know the '59's a good pick up,I already own one in another one of my guitars.
