Hum/Single pickup options - advice needed

[levantin]

I'm putting together my h/s dinky mutt and I'm torn between some very different pickup choices. I've narrowed it down to three options and I need some advice. The body is alder, neck maple and board rosewood, with an OFR.

The only pickup in the list that I have no experience at all with is the EMG SA. I've read the specifications and all but I would appreciate hands on info.

Thanks for all comments in advance.

* Disclaimer - I know many do not prefer a JB in the bridge because of the highs, but it happens to be my favourite SD hum and I have one lying around somewhere, so it would be convenient as well.

i voted JB/hot rails because i like passive pickups. i have used the 85/SA combo before and liked it just fine. it sounded a bit thicker. the SA is a nice single coil.

My SL1 sounded best with a Duncan Custom, in the bridge position, Cool Rails Middle in the middle, and a Hot Rails Neck in the neck position. My Fender is a Hum/Single and it likes a DiMarzio Super Distortion in the bridge position, and a Hot Rails Bridge in the neck position.

DiMarzio super D in the bridge and SDS-1 in the neck can't go wrong with that combo.
