Gibson 490t Humbucker

About My Guitar Pick ups?

Would it be a sane thought that My bridge pick up (which i play more) be better than my neck pick up. Right now for my bridge i have a gibson 490T and for the neck i have a standard epiphone factory standard. I wanted to get a passive EMG humbucker and put it into the bridge and and move my gibson 490T to the neck however im pretty sure the 490T as opposed to the 490R was meant for the bridge. I may get the Single passive EMG for the bridge and transfer the 490R to a different guitar but idk.. Can Anyone Help? BTW passive EMG's dont require a battery right? thank you to anyone and everyone who answers.

only active pickups require batteries. as for putting ur bridge pickup in ur neck pickup, i think bridge are made for bridge and neck made for neck
