The low end bassy sound of the neck p/u you are hearing is probaly caused not by the type of p/u you have, but caused by it's distance from the bridge, you could put a bridge p/u in the neck position and it would do the same thing, alot of people used to refer to the neck p/u as the "bass" p/u, hmmmm.... I wonder why they did that? Don't fight against design, you'll just get tired and spend alot of money in the process.........
