Neck Pickup Clips (from you, not me)

Wanted to hear clips of people playing using their neck pickup and what kind of sounds they use them for. I realized that i pretty much only use the neck pickup (humbuckers here) on any of my electrics to get a fat, saturated lead tone with lots of gain () as that's my favorite lead sound. But i never really find myself using the neck pickup for much of anything else unless its coil tapped or parallel as i always find it too muddy (regardless of pickup or guitar) in the lower register.
Lemme hear what kinda tones you use your neck pickup for if you have clips. I'd be very interested. I'm thinking its maybe just me

i love using my neck pickup for funky stuff... mainly in drop D on a strat though, that stuff sounds awesome :P

also, the middle single coil on strats do a great funky tone, i find. it´s usually the same as the neck pickup, but closer to the bridge, so you literally get a little bit of both...

anyways, for leads, you get a nice thick and rich sound from the neck pickup, and a ripping slashing sound from the bridge pickup... it depends on the character of the solo :P

and no, i don´t really have any clips :P
