Another pickup selection question

[gtrman3]

I have two teles. One with a SD 5-2 (rosewood neck) and the other with a SD Broadcaster (maple neck)

I play use a Dr Z Stangray amp. (Think pre topboost AC30)

I have discovered the Broadcaster pickup was WAY too bright for me. This is when I compared it to the 5-2. So I ordered another 5-2 for the second tele. Musicians Friend is backordered, so in the meantime, I installed another pickup I had laying around. I don't even know what it is. (probably some non-USA stock Fender)

It's fantastic!!! It makes the 5-2 sound so nasal. It's hotter (which is both good and bad), and there's a lot more lower mids. Which is something I like. (The Stangray has recessed mids)

So I'm now wondering is there a SD pickup that gives more lower mids and slightly hotter than a 5-2?

Jerry Donahue model? On the tone chart, it says it's a moderate output, but on the description page, it says high output.

Since the Stangray has a bit of recessed mids, I'm concerned an Alnico II pro would not be a good choice.

Any suggestions?

Re: Another pickup selection question

i would think just the opposite. alnico II has nice rich mids so should work well with an amp that has recessed mids. i think the jd would be a good choice. one of my favorite tele bridge pups and hotter than the 5/2
