GFS Mean 90 and Alnico II

I recently completed my Jazzmaster build, with a GFS Mean 90 in the neck and an Alnico Classic II in the bridge.  After working out some noise issues (to be honest I have no idea how, the noise just went away), I have come to find that the Mean 90 in the neck is terrific.  Very, very smooth, very, very rich - lots of tone. The Alnico in the bridge, however, is a bit "twangy" for my tastes.  I am not sure if it is due to the PUP or the Hipshot hardball bridge, or a combination of the two.  This is not to say it is not a nice PUP, it is.  I  just find it does not have that smooth sound of the Mean 90.  If GFS gets them back in, I may try the Mean 90 in the bridge, too.  That said, not sure why.  As things are, I get the best of two worlds - Telecaster twang and Strat clarity.

Sounds like your neighbor's coffin freezer is probably on the blink.
 
I think I heard my springer spaniel playing with it late last night.  She may have found the fix.  Damn good player, too.
