Best pickup for a green day-like sound

I was thinking the Sh-4 jb model. Any other choices?

I'm pretty sure Billy Joe uses a JB in his Strat.

Unless you want the American Idiot tone. That's a P90 in the bridge of an old LP Jr.

I thought it was a P100.

BJ used the P100s in the Warning album, but he uses P90s in the American Idiot album. Definitely uses the JB in his strat.

Looking at the video for Basket Case and Longview he had a angled rail style humbucker that looks like a Bill Lawrence.

Whatever you put in please don't forget to whine in a fake english accent...thats the most important part of achieving the Green Day sound.
