the JB he suggested at the bridge is the JB jr
Well, in that case you're going to need an SSS pickguard as well, as the JB Jr is a single-coil-sized humbucker. It would probably mount into your HSS pickguard (might need to drill new mounting holes) but it'll have big gaps either side of it! If your tech thinks this'll look good, I'd get a different tech!

I assume you have the Atomic HB now. I'd say changing it for a JB (full size) would be a waste of time and money. As you say, they're quite similar in specs.

No-one here can tell you whether any particular pups will please you. Yes, I like the SD Pearly Gates, but others wouldn't touch them. It's a totally personal thing, and expensive mistakes are common. Whatever amplification you're using is obviously a factor too. Have to say, though, my TS's at neck & middle exhibit no such G/D trait - but then, I've modded mine...!

Unless I've missed something, you've never said whether the unwanted G/D domination also applies to the Atomic? If it doesn't, you're only concerned with the neck & middle TS pups? So (ruling out modding) you only have the option of changing them for flat-pole pups, don't you? Simple as that? It's not a complicated job if you can solder...

But if you're having to pay someone else to do the work, I realise you don't want to buy the 'wrong' pups (soundwise). But as I said, no-one can suggest pups you'll like - you're wasting your time asking (no offence)!

Cheers - Peter.
