Best neck single to match P90 bridge

[daniel80]

Hi guys, soon I'll buy a Duesenberg PH90 (split-coil type P90 alnico 5 pickup 8,36 kohm) for my bridge position (unfortunately there is nothing similar in SD catalog).
Let's suppose the output level of this pickup is the same of a standard alnico 5 P90..

In your opinion, which single sized pickup would be the best match in terms of output/impedance considering that I want a classic strat single coil sound?
Maybe a quarter pound, but I never used it and I don't know if it can sound muddy and too different from a regular single.

I'm also considering noiseless singles (not single sized humbucker), but also in this case it's not easy to understand if the output levels will be unbalanced.
Easier with DiMarzios since the output value is shown on the website (I'm considering the Heavy Blues 2 neck).

What is a "split-coil type P-90"?

Search "Duesenberg PH90" on google and you'll see it... anyway just for example, a Precision Bass pickup is a split coil type pickup.

Haven't heard that name in a while. They also make really quality 3 way blades.

For Duesenberg's humbucker sized P90 one of the closest would be their phat cats. 8.5k DC resistance as well. However DC resistance alone doesn't tell you much about the pickup. Inductance is another big one, for overkill magnetic tesla/gauss putting all 3 together give you the best idea of a pickup without getting an oscilloscope.

This is a good example of a humbucker sized P90. The PH90 that they have out

This looks like the Duesenberg Domino, not the PH90.. anyway don't care about it or the Phat Cat, basically I'm asking which single in the neck is balanced with a P90 in the bridge (and also noiseless alternative)

SSL-5 perhaps. (Or SSL-6)

I'd recommend noiseless STK-S7. It delivers classic strat sound while manages to balance its volume output with a hot bridge pickup.

If you're not after strat sound, a dynasonic type pickup like T-Armond or a Goldfoil pickup will make a unique pair with the Duesenberg.
