Looking for some recommendations for a single pickup that meets the following criteria:
I don't necessarily need anything higher output than a regular single coil, at least not by much, as I'd like to keep definition and get the saturation from the amp/pedal side. Still, if it's not much more than vintage output, I wouldn't mind, as long as it balances w/ the SSL-1s I have in the neck and middle positions. This would be for more gained out strat sounds (Pumpkins "Gish" type sounds), but I'd still like that wirey strat bridge position sound on clean stuff for funk.
Doesn't need to quack when combined w/ the middle pickup, as I'm just using a 3-way switch for this SSS setup.
I'm thinking a regular ol' Duncan stack (is it the STKS4?) or possibly a Dimarzio Area 58.
Any other good ones?
- uncompressed
- aggressive (I think this may end up being more a function of the amp settings, but still...)
- hum-cancelling
- works well w/ 250K pots
- vintage output (or just a hair hotter)
- doesn't sound flat on the clean channel
- If it looks like a regular single coil, that would definitely be a plus
