No, that's not a typo. I'm thinking about changing my Texas Special Strat (surf pearl, alder body with 1-piece maple neck) over to a HB (trembucker) in the bridge and a Strat SC at the neck -- no middle pickup. I'm also considering a Phat Cat or SM-1 or SM-3 at the neck like I have on some Teles, but I'd like to hear some opinions about Strat neck pickup (vintage or noiseless) and bridge HB combos.
I have a spare SSL-1 here, so I could start with that and a 59 TB, but I wouldn't mind a noiseless solution at the neck and a HB that sounds like a fat, overwound Tele pickup. I play primarily blues and blues-based rock material through vintage Fender (BF) and Gibson (tweed) amps (plus an EL84 15 watter for good measure).
