Blues Saraceno dilema (neck content, S or HB?)

[Fr@mus]

Yes, I was using the search and found something, but I need more input please

I already have the BS bridge installed in my custom Strat. I love it but this marvelous PU overwhelm the middle and neck PU's (Fender Hot Gold 6.0K)

When I play I like to switch bridge and neck PU's, in special if I am playing some lead.
First thing I know is that I need more neck and middle output, because the difference is huge, no matter how many low one or high the others

Second thing I go go for hum cancelling

Third, match with the Blues Saraceno spirit, I mean similar presence and punch

Now dilema time: Cool Rails neck and middle, or Hot Rails both, or mixed?
Or maybe, one of them and a neck humbucker, but wich one?: via search I found that some folks goes for the APH, or Pearly Gates, but according to chart APH DC Res, is 7.6 (enough?) and Pearly Gates 7.3 (less). I was even thinking to put The PG bridge in the neck DC.R 8.35 because it seems to have similar output with de Blues Saraceno (9.8)

Suit for: Classic Rock, blues, stompboxes, Fender amps

Sorry if I ask to much, but where I live I do not have any chance to test any PU. The only thing I can do is read here, hear some clips, buy via inet and pray

Many thanks

A Cool Rails in the neck would be great. It has a unique punch and character of its own. Its got a fairly high output and, its humbucking. A Lil 59 would work also.

For the middle, there's a lot of options depending on if you wanted to stay in the same output class, or go with something more mellow. Like a Vintage Rails or a Duckbucker.

Many thanks Artietoo:cool3:

For the middle..mmm...well. I may say I use 40% bridge, 30% neck, 20% middle and 10% position 4 or 2 in the name of quack

So my choice would be: similar output with a taste of quack
What do you think?
