what's another shred happy neck pickup?

[Travis]

I love the Distortion and Full Shred in the neck, both work great for searing lead tone. But I'm getting another Charvel 750xl to match the one I already have. In mine I have a DD/FS combo, and I was thinking about something different with this one. However, I have an extra Distortion to throw in there. I was thinking about a 59 for a little verstaility, got a line on one for a good price.

Here's what I've tried in the neck position with other guitars and what I liked and didn't:

Distortion: can't say enough good things
Full Shred: clear, articulate, great lead tone, not too bright but jut enough
59: not quite as smooth as I would like, seems a little scooped, but cleans are amazing
Jazz: very articulate, not as warm as I expected
JB: hated it
Pearly Gates: like a better 59, seems to have more mids which I like

Anything I haven't tried that would be good with the Distortion?

Hails man
try a CC in the neck to see, it has LESS Bass than the Jb. might work well.
and you should try a Original parallel axis trembucker Neck.
or so a dimarzio paf joe, paf pro or fred in the neck.

I have a Fred paired with a Custom, it sounds great. I actually have the fred set quite low, so I have no doubts that it will pair well with a hotter pup like a distortion
