Cool Rails neck vs Lil 59 Neck

[RockNRoling]

I want to throw a single sized humbucker in the neck of my strat. I am really going between these two pickups and was just wondering if anyone can give me a description of the difference. I am borrowing a strat with the cool rails and it is nice, but I am wondering if the Lil 59 may be a bit brighter?? I still want it to sound like a single coil but way fatter. The Cool Rails is suppose to do that, does the Lil 59 sound more like a humbucker, or is it a cross between the two of them??

Thanks

I am either going to go with a Hot Rails Bridge and Cool Rails in the Neck and Middle ( may subsitute the Hot Rails for a Lil JB)

Or get the Everything Axe set with Lil JB in the bridge, duckbucker in the mid, and Lil 59 in the neck.

from what i've read, the cool rails is somewhat like a jazz jr, and the lil' 59 is very much like a '59 with less boomy lows and a more focused sound.

I have never tried any rail pup or the 'Lil 59 neck.

The 'Lil 59 bridge does not sound like a single coil ..... not in full HB mode nor when split and combined in parallel with a single coil. It sounds great and is fatter than a SC, but IMO a little less bright.
