Good matches for a Twangbanger?

I'm using a Fender CIJ '62RI Strat. I'm about to try a twangbanger in the bridge position. If I like that, what middle and neck pickup would make a good match for it? For strat sounds, I'm into stuff like early blackmore and SRV. I am looking for pretty basic twangy rockin' neck and middle tones with a bridge that sounds like a tele.

i used the TB with 2 Aps1 single coils, but i remember a few members saying that the TB/Surfer/surfer combo was really good, and if you want more twangy sounds, the surfers have more of that than the Aps1's.

ssl-1's or surfers.......and if you are going for Tele tone, install a 5-way superswitch wired like this...

1 bridge
2 bridge & middle
3 bridge & neck
4 middle & neck
5 neck

I use those combos :

APS1TwBg/APS1rwrp/APS1T in a swamp ash strat , very warm tone for a strat , bluesy , best axe to get some Gallagher tones


APS1TwBg/SSL1rwrp/SSL1 in an alder (Jeff Beck model) strat , twangy tone , clean and bright , very good combo for SRV tone

I think about replacing my surfer custom bridge by a TwangBanger , I'm addicted to this PU !

I sort of wonder how the TwangBanger sounds in the other positions. I would probably get 2 different ones for the middle and neck so I could switch them around and see what I liked best in each position. But then I'm cheap.
