Have you experimented with parallel wiring?

The Full Shred neck is great, and if you want more power, I'd try a DiMarzio Super 2.

Before changing pickups, I'd suggest switching to 500K pots and wiring the Air Zone for series/parallel operation (via push/pull pot or a mini switch). I think you might be pleasantly surprised. The Air Zone in parallel is pretty cool... it'll give you the sound you're looking for unless I miss my guess. More bite, more clarity, more openness, still has some serious balls, and balances better with the other 2 pickups. :)

Everything you wanted to know about .... / Re: The Bluesbucker

Wow. I LOVE this thing. It's in the neck position of my 1977 Ibanez Artist model #2618. Mine was modded...the previous owner had a Floyd Rose installed in 1986. This model guitar has 24 frets as opposed to 22. The Bluesbucker is great in a 24 fret gtr with the screw polepieces *toward* the neck. Lots of ppl don't like the sound of a neck humbucker in a 24 fret guitar, but using the Bluesbucker in the manner I've stated bring back a LOT of that juicy throatyness, since only the screw coil is producing sound. (It's all about the aperture with this bad MO FO! Also, I used a Bluesbucker in the bridge of a Charvel 475. (Basswood body) It KILLS for hard rock and metal. I installed it with the screw coil facing the neck as well. The extra definition and screaming harmonics when installed in my Charvel were a flat out revelation.
