      Definitely the humbucker. Although i love the singles and the p90's too, i could never get by without a bucker.

        Definetely more clarity. However, overall, I'd have to go with the buckers because of the noise free execution that just isn't possible with the single coil equipped guitars I've played with, and for the thumping bass and thickness I get from my humbuckers.

        It's always been the same for me - SC for clean, HB for dirt. The perfect solution! Multiple guitars! Or a 4-Conductor wiring!

          I vote for single coils, but the way I play I need both.

          I have splits on my HB'ers, but that doesn't always cut it.

          Now, if I could find a way to get singles to do high gain the way HB'ers do high gain....

              Humbuckers. For the bridge position at least.

              But i also like the sound of a strat neck pickup.

                  i kinda disreguarded the fender part of the single coil thing. i love singles but fenders arent my favorite, at least modern fenders. ive played on a few 50's and 60's teles and strats and most of them sounded fantastic but there was a 66 strat that played like butter but kinda sounded very thin and yet indistinct at the same time, i assume that the magnets had seen some better days

                    My FAVORITE is the CUSTOM/59 HYBRID humbucker because it has the classic PAF tone with a little extra strength almost slightly P-90-ish... when split to single coil, the CUSTOM coil sounds almost like a vintage tele pickup which would make sense since it is wound with 43 guage wire to slightly over 7k... I use a spin-a-split which is very versatile...
                    I love single coils as well(especially TELES), but hate the buzz and the string pull from having magnets as the polepieces...

                      Humbuckers, especially if you add a switch for parallel or tapped; I like the sound of a humbucker in parallel over the sound of a standard Strat single coil- and it cancels hum, too!
