I would not swap the 59 for the jazz. I use both pickups in various guitars for different apps. Because I play different styles of music, I have found the jazz more to my taste with a '59 bridge in the tail. As for a '59 in the neck, very responsive and great sounding for more rock oriented tones but by rolling off the tone control and tame the volume, you can get a great jazz tone. If I were to purchase between the two at this moment, I would go with the jazz. Not as hot as '59 but very, very smooth.
