Umm, okay.

They're just really high output, that's all.
I don't know.
They don't sound that great and I have nothing against high output pickups.
They just don't all that great.
You won't get Tom Delonges sound with that pickup, not unless you use all of the same amps he has, and he uses A LOT!

Never bridge pickups, unless combined with the neck pickup.
I've had the same guideline most of my life until last year when I tried rolling back the tone control on the bridge pickup of a Jazzmaster .. around halfway or just under there are some really nice sounds.

Oh I know!
I used to only use bridge pickups for years!
I guess I'm just going through phases,  :)

bookmark this thread as you might need to refer back to it once you install that pickup.
