The neck pickup is the shorter way to get a "jazz" sound...
Sure it will sound a bit different but playable and quite pleasant.

Jimmy appears to be using both here.

I am cheating slightly, using the bridge pickup full on and the neck at about 10%.
I love the sound of the bridge pickup! If you are going for a warm jazz tone of course using the bridge PU alone will make it much more difficult, but that is generally not the only sound that I like to use.

@Question: Very "piercing" tone on Inner Urge (slightly more neck-PU on Goodbye Pork Pie Hat?)
Very nice playing! Congrats.

Ciao Frabarmus,
I recorded those videos last year for other threads on this forum related to these songs, so I don't remember the exact settings.
The bridge PU has more dynamic range for me, especially with a bit of boost, so I just set them until it sounds the way I like.
For these two videos the Bridge PU is on full, it could be that Pork Pie Hat has a bit more neck PU mixed in or I am just playing with less attack.
I posted these videos because I always thought that players with a two pickup guitar who only use the neck PU are missing out on many interesting tone colors.
