i personally find basswood guitars very rewarding for pickup swaps. it's the most transparent wood for guitar bodies & lets the pickups' inherent tonal qualities through with minimal interferance.
the '59 & JB would do a good job in there, provided it's what you wanna hear from them. for a 'fat' tone, you'd do well to check out the Hotrails, which posssess parallel tonal characteristics as its menacing sibling, the Invader. i have it in my Tele depicted here & it'll pump out booming bass to cover bottom heavy genre (metal) as well as smooth low end for fusion stuff. however, do note what stillwater said about the guitar make & its association with the tone generated, you need a certain constructional quality to be able to produce a certain tone, pickup is just an ingredient to the equation 8)
