By Brown Sound you mean EVH? Well get a nice Marshall...that's better than half of Eddie's Brown Sound right there.
Then a 59 Trembucker for vintage '60 paf tone or a Custom Custom Trembucker for a stronger, more mordern tone with smooth pronounced mids that will let you squeeze notes like toothpaste from a tube if you have the technique.
For a neck pickup I'd go with a Alnico 2 Pro N if you like Slash's tone or a Pearly Gates N for a little more sizzle than the A2Pro, or a Seth Lover N if you want warmer tone than either and a pickup with a nickel cover.
The 59N would be a good choice too and will have more bass and, IMO, more spring to the highs. The Jazz N would have a little less bass than the 59N and even more zing to the upper harmonics than the 59N.
