SORTED: Seymour Duncan Hot Rails (neck) Or any nice neck single coils?

Looking to get a JB (trembucker only please) and a Hot Rails neck. Black only.

No chewed up ex-direct-mounted abortions please! These are going in a pickguard so need to be able to suspend via normal pickup screws.

Cheers.

EDIT: all sorted!

    I have a trembucker JB (one rewound coil to original spec).

    Thanks for the offer but since this is for comparison's sake I need it to be completely stock.

    EDIT: Just scored a JB. Now I'm maybe back-tracking a little on the Hot Rails and might go back to having a true single coil in the neck... Something glassy and bitey though, with lots of treble and attitude. I've really enjoyed Dimarzio Area pickups in the past, something like that perhaps... Let me know what you've got!

    Allow me to suggest the Duncan SJBJ-1N. Nice output balance with a TB-4 and a less raspy tone than Rails pickups. The pole screws do not align perfectly with the strings but this does not seem to detract from the tone.

    As you can probably guess, I have one of these BUT it is white and I have a possible outlet for it locally. 
    You say, atom bomb. I say, tin of corned beef.

    Ah interesting. I never even knew they made a neck version. All together though, not really my thing. I quite like a sizeable amount of chime and rasp in my neck pickups, and don't mind so much about the output differential. Thanks for the heads up anyway!

    Yeah man that's the plan! I used to have that exact set up in another guitar and it was killer.
