Jagmaster Stock Pickups--love them or hate them?

What do you guys think about them? I haven't played my Ibanez RG-120 in forever (mainly because the stock PU's were mediocre) and I was thinking about switching the stock PU's for my spare set of JM humbuckers. I figured it'd be like having another Jagmaster which would be pretty cool because I remember the JM PU's sounding pretty decent. On top of that, the neck on my RG feels really smooth. 😀

In the realm of squiers they were great, in the realm of pickups as a whole they were not so great.

I like the neck one, not so fond of the bridge.

The neck pickup I find to be good to mellow out and also for distortion.

Not sure if they are identical, but when taken out of the guitar, it is written on the bottom of each whether it is the bridge or neck. But I didn't run them to a multimeter or anything like that.

I thought they were pretty decent for squire stock pickups, but i switched them and in retrospect they are pretty naff.

the vista ones are allright, i prefer the neck far more than the bridge, i might get a dually red lace sensor for that seeing as i hardly ever play clean on the bridge and i want MASSIVE distortion 😆
