OK - but would it be unmanageable as the Gibson Bridge sounds good to me (in every way!) but the necky is a bit muffled, wooly or whatever you want to call it. I just wondered if I put the HD in the neck and lowered it right down.
I don't know the specs of the Gibson HB-L, I think it's pretty high-output but the HD bridge is about 16K which is
way too hot for a neck pickup (the HD
neck is, I think, about 8K). Even if you set it low I think it would overpower the bridge pickup and sound ridiculously boomy/bassy.
You could try, wire it in parallel!
What will that do? And how do I wire that?
If you wired the HD neck in parallel, you'd get a thinner, lower-output, more "single-coil" like sound. It might sound good, but it won't give you a typical "neck humbucker" sound, at all. The wiring would normally be done with a mini-switch or push-pull pot to select series or parallel, but you could wire it permanently in parallel like this:
Red & White : Hot
Green, Black & Bare : Ground
Up to you, but I just don't see the point of taking a BKP pickup which is designed to be used in the bridge position, in series, and putting it in the neck position, in parallel, just because it happens to be "lying around". :?
