Novak Bridge pickups: JM-V vs JM-FAT

[El Reclusa]

I'm sure this has probably been discussed before, but what I'd ideally like is feedback from anyone who has direct experience with both.

I have a JM-V set in my MJT/Musikraft build. It's become my go-to guitar. I love it. I love the pickups. That said, I wonder if the JM-FAT bridge might give me the just a little "extra" I find myself sometimes wanting.

Anybody swapped a V for a FAT? How would you compare the two?

I have a feeling I'd love the FAT, but I love the V already- I sometimes just wish it had a very little bit more "oomph". Not a ton, just a little bit more of everything. I have the height set pretty much ideally as it is. The neck pickup is, in my mind, perfect. The bridge is...really, really close to perfect. I don't want, fine though they may be, a JM90 or anything- I'm looking for an ideal Jazzmaster bridge pickup. I really want the V with just a bit more of Curtis' magic crammed in. Normally I'd just pull the trigger and be done with it, but I really do love the V so much that I'm a bit reticent to change it, buuuut...I'm going to order a set of Jag pickups for a sorta-Duosonicish XII build I'm finally getting around to, so if I'm gonna get a FAT, might as well make one order instead of two...

I realize this post is a bit old now... am curious about what you decided. I'm trying to decide on whether to get two JM-Vs like you had or get the JM-V for the neck and JM-fat for the bridge. I mostly play clean. Thanks!
