Which humbucker has a smoother top end and tight bottom

[Funkyard]

I purchased a Limited Edition Fender American Standard HH Tele, nice guitar but the bridge Fender CS twin blade PU is to bright for my taste. I was looking at 59 but the SH4 bridge appears to be more balanced? Your comments or any other suggestions are appreciated thanks!

The JB has a pronounced hump in the midrange frequencies, and some have called it "ice picky".

However, a 250K volume pot can address the ice pick, but not so much the midrange hump.

A Telecaster is a bright, if not one of the brightest guitars ever made. The '59b is a bright pickup as well.
Before choosing a new pickup, you should let us know what style of music your playing.
My gut would tell me you want an alnico 2 or 3 magnet in which ever pickup you choose.

I've heard people describe the Suhr Doug Aldrich as exactly the kind of pickup in the title.

Please excuse me if that wasn't worded in a way that makes sense, I'm exhausted and in need of a good night's sleep.
