Neck pick up, Duncan Distortion?

I REALLY like the Duncan Distortion pickup bridge position installed in my Korean standard .... Not so happy with the 59 in the neck however, sounds a little flat

I realize people use the 59's all the time and love them but I want something with a fuller sound

I've decided to install a Duncan Distortion in the bridge position of my new Blitz but I'm up in the air about the neck

I see on the internet that some say DO NOT install a Duncan Distortion in the neck while others say that they sound GREAT with a bluesy garage band feel, which is more of what I'm looking for...

I don't have a lot of pedals or effects boxes (only 1 a RAT pedal from the 80's)

Does anyone have any experience with a Duncan Distortion in the neck position?

Should I just use a 59 and supplement with a pedal etc?

BTW Kyuss is one of my favorites and I wouldn't mind that sound one bit

Thanks!

On my Charvel Model 2 There is a Distortion in the bridge position and who ever had it before me routed and put a distortion in the neck position. I like the way it sounds. Be sure to get the part number for the neck position though.

I have a pair of SH6's in my Schecter C1 Plus.

I think it sounds good but that is the type of music I play so I reckon it depends on your musical taste.

I've been doing alot of Wolf Hoffman stuff lately and it sounds good.

Be sure to get a DD wound specifically for the neck position, don't just put a bridge DD in the neck. Duncan underwinds the neck pickups to maintain volume balance between the two.
