Hey plaidbeer,
sounds like we were separated at birth. I've got a BT JM + Vox pathfinder. I also used to listen to all that same stuff in high school and currently have paper thin walls in my apartment. No joke.
Anyways, I was also having trouble deciding what to replace the stock HB with, when i came across a telecaster bridge pickup i had from an old guitar. Screwed it right into the hb cavity (straight across), wired it up and ...awesome. Even hum cancels in middle position. Definitely has more bite than the neck pup, and together sounds amazing. Only downside is that it looks trashy. (or kinda cool) I might try a bigsby-tele-coversion plate but that would require cutting the pickguard a bit. Whatever, i'm happy with it as is for now!
