Another newbie looking for pickup recommendations

[Lucifuge]

Ok, I know a lot of the threads on this forum are people asking 'what pickup should I put in this guitar', so I hope you'll have the patience to read one more and give me some recommendations.

The guitar is a Schecter Tempest; mahogany body, maple/rosewood set neck, LP type controls with push/pull coil splits.
The current pickups are a Seymour Duncan 59 in the neck and JB in the bridge.

I love the sound of the 59 and am more than happy with it. The same goes for the 'both pickups on' sound, but the JB by itself is not great; a bit bland and uninteresting when clean, and muddy and dull when overdriven. The only thing I like about it is the coil split sound which is pretty good.

I'm really only looking for a bridge pickup, as I already have a pickup I like in the neck and I'm a bit skint at the moment so can't really afford to replace both. Hopefully I can get something that would sound good with the 59.

I mostly make electronic music with occasional guitar use of guitar, which can be very different in style from one track to the next, so I am more interested in versatility than a pickup that focusses on one genre like metal, or vintage accuracy. Obviously 4-conductor wiring is essential as I use the coil split sounds a lot.

I'm not in any rush, as I need to practice my soldering skills on cables and an old project guitar before I risk disembowelling this guitar, I'm just looking for ideas for when I do get round to this.

a upper midsy/treble oriented pickup will help you cut through your electronics.

I'd look at a mule or a crawler for versatility

That's interesting actually; I hadn't really thought about a ceramic magnet because they are usually associated with metal/shred styles that I'm not really interested in. I also don't necessarily want a high-output pickup because of the possible mismatch in volume and sound with the neck pickup. However, the emphasis on upper mid/treble could be what I am looking for.

On the other hand, I am not totally sold on the need to 'cut through' the electronics; I would prefer to have a guitar with a good basic sound and use my mixing and production abilities (which are far greater than my guitar playing skill) to make the guitar either cut through or remain in the background depending on what is required for the song.
