Welcome to the Duncan side of the house...
Spend some time with all sorts of different gain (and clean) settings on the neck pickup. You'll quickly see that it simply the greatest neck pickup that you buy, short of spending hundreds of dollars on something custom wound. Even then, I can't think of a single way to improve upon it. All that clarity, it handles gain well, it doesn't fart or mud out, notes just seem to leap out of it. Duncan needs to endorse me, because I've sold at least fifty people on that pickup.
Spend some time messing with the height of the JB, because it is extremely sensative to playing style and string distance. I've got mine in a sweet spot where it stays clean when I want it to, and roars when I dig in. Complaints that it sounds to boomy or too squealy can be traced to players putting them too far away or too close respectively.
