differences between neck and bridge jazz pickups

On standard Jazz pickups they are pretty much the same except for the points you mentioned. The bridge pickup reads a little higher resistance because the turns of wire are longer, but they are wound the same, just in reverse.

On some more updated designs the bridge pickup might be wound a little hotter.
