I know this is wrong but would a MQ bridge sound cr@p as a neck

Presumably the bridge model has more windings than the neck model, so it would sound darker.  I suppose it could be a little muddy, but it should still have some single-coil clarity.  

I think it would be OK if you like a fat/warm neck pickup sound - halfway between an MQ neck and a Pig-90.  And it might be a good match for a hot bridge humbucker.

Sounds like an interesting combination!   :D  It must be worth trying, you can always swap again if it doesn't work.

yu might even be able to swap the bridge MQ for a neck one if you ask Tim nicely, and maybe pay a lil fee for the trouble? worth a shot
