This is my first time trying to change the pickups on my guitar.
So I am asking the experienced this:

Would Gibson 498T/Duncan Sh-4 fit on a Blacktop Jazzmaster Bridge?

I am not a gibson fan, but happened to have a 498T available, so I am considering one of them (well, of course, after my experience with Edwards Les Paul, I found out that I am not going to be happy about the pickup that came with).

Advices? Opinions?

Yes, both the Gibson 498T and the Duncan SH-4 will fit. The polepieces of the 498T however, will line up with the strings better than those of the SH-4. If you are considering a JB, you'd do better with the TB-4 due to the wider polepiece spacing. Worth noting is that either the Gibson or Duncan(s) will be out of phase with your neck pickup.
