No I only have the Aldrich in the bridge. The neck pickup is a Duncan Jazz.
The Vintage Modern is a great amp if played at extremely loud volumes where the power tubes are really distortions. At low-to-mid volumes it is very trebly and harsh. Great sounding amp if you're playing big concerts but not very useful for most of us.

I have an AlnicoIIpro in the neck on mine..
thats typical of marshalls I guess. I tried the VM and thought it was ok, but didnt rock my world.

yes it's typical of Marshalls with the exception of the DSL series, my DSL50 can sound good at any volume.
The Alnico II pro is a great neck pickup, I like it a lot

They still make the dsl? are they real gainy?
I just spoke to a guy that deals Suhr to see what his price is for the aldrich, (125) and he said that in his 23 yr s as a dealer, the aldrich is the Best pup he has ever heard.
Must be something. I Want one, but have to save. Think Ill try it in the paul when I get it.. Im pretty satisfied with everything else.. How do you think it would be in an explorer?? I have a custom in the Explorer and its tasty tho..
Ive been pretty much playing only my Salas anyhow.

Hmm.. adjusted the pup on the paul last night and its much better..Im having tough time whether to run this (when I get) in the LP or explorer. Im pretty happy with the tones in both of those...
I wish I could just pick up an Edwards Sykes to put it in. haha But Im so broke, Im having to save change to get the pickup. Bookings at my night job are way down.. Trying to find another night job.

Got my Suhr Alrich ordered! I got the 50mm. I figure this is ok for a paul.. right?? Was a hard decision. I really like the tones Im getting from my LP now.. Hopefully, with this, I'll Love the tones.. I had to wait awhile and save for this.. money has been really tight.. So, I hope this really blows my mind.. Ill know in a few days.. I got it from Acme as you recommended and they are in FLA.

Well, I ordered my Aldrich on the 17th. Got my payment conf same night and ACME is here in FL.. As of today, still no pickup... I called them.. Well, I fell through the cracks..... They are out of stock of the Black 50mm and with Suhr, it will be at least 6 more weeks.. He said they can refund me... Said they were supposed to send me an email notifying me of this... GRRRRRRRRRRR I asked them if they had the 53mm and they said yes, so I said send that instead... My neck pup in the LP is trem spaced Duncan Alnico II pro anyhow.. Dang that peeves me.. So, gotta wait another day or 2.
A guy I chat with at the Duncan forum, says the Neck Suhr aldrich is the best Neck pup he's ever used. Said it sounds great full and when split, has the best clean he has ever used. May be cool to use both. Ive NEVER used a neck and bridge matched set.. Always mix -n-match.. the AIIpro sounds tasty in this paul..
