Neck pickup to go with a JB humbucker?

Post by MTLasater » Fri Dec 21, 2007 12:12 am

The sunburst Toronado that I got off of eBay came with the stock Fender bridge humbucker replaced with a Seymour Duncan JB humbucker.  I love the sound of it!  I can get such bright tones out of it that it almost reminds me of a single-coil.  However, the neck humbucker is still the stock Fender pickup, and it sounds so boring...so I'm trying to figure out a good neck pickup to compliment the JB bridge pickup.  The brighter, the better.  Any suggestions?
I can't help about the shape I'm in, I can't sing, I ain't pretty and my legs are thin.  But don't ask me what I think of you, I might not give the answer that you want me to.

Yeah, I had been thinking about that as a possibility...and I don't really think there's any better pickup for the job than that.
