Good neck Pickup to go along with BKP Nailbomb?
Hey guys. Just purchased my first BKP Nailbomb pickup, and I'm looking for a good neck humbucker to go along with it. Now, I don't think I'll have $100+ for another BKP, but I'm mainly looking for some Duncans or Dimarzios that might go well with this pickup. Maybe a 59' or Air Norton? Guitar is an RGA121, which is fairly bright. I want something for smooth leads, crystal clean tone, and all around good pickup.

Air Norton if on a budget. Cold Sweat if not.

kind of goes without saying, but the Nailbomb neck model goes great with the Nailbomb bridge in my experience
 . it really does have everthing you seem to be looking for. i personally don't care for the AN7 or 59, but if i HAD to pick one to go with the NB, it would be the 59. |

Thanks guys. I'm torn between 59' Neck, Air Norton, or SD Jazz.

IMO, the '59 is great for a vintage tone but also hands fairly high gain lead well. More people use them than I can even write down. Best I've heard them used combining vintage with gain would be any solos by Mark Morton.
AN7 is also a great choice and has a very smooth tone to it. Petrucci used them back in the day, and if memory serves correctly the custom JP neck pickup is a modified AN. My old RR3 had a SD Jazz in the neck and for me, it really didn't do much. It was like "OK, thats not bad but I'm not really wowed by it" I'd say for the '59 |
