Rio Bastard in a Maple-top Special....

I use my Junior all the time but need a backup.

I have a Rio Bastard that I wanna try in my '03 Sustain Block Special FM.

Will the combination of P90/Sustain Block/Maple top be 'tear-your-head-off' bright? Or will the Rio be dark enough to balance that out some?

I tried a Bastard on the neck position of my Studio. I did not like it. It was too mellow. It's not that it didn't sound good. It just wasn't the sound I was hoping for. It sounded good playing single notes and double stops, but it compressed a lot when I strummed a whole chord.

I also tried a Phat Cat on the studio. I love the Phat Cat on my Newport, but it sounded lifeless on the studio.
