Buckethead: Tone Zone Neck, Air Norton Bridge?


There is a rumor about Buckethead's pickups i.e. :

"the pickup's (which is what everyone seems to want to know) neck p/u is a Dimarzio Tone Zone, bridge p/u is a Dimarzio Air Norton." - I think this was from a Gibson insider.

Would I be crazy to try this combo?

Could you get the pickups to balance? The tone zone has a much higher output than the air norton, so the neck pickup would sound a lot louder imho. That said, in photos of Bucket's les paul it looks like the neck pickup is as low as it can go, which might give this combo some credibility.

I ask because I have a tone zone and air norton already installed in my Ibanez and am wondering weather I should try swapping them around.
