Help buying two more pickups

[Christobevii3]

I have a jackson ps7 (HSS) that i started deciding to replace the pickups. I just purchased a pearly gates for the humbucker because the band i like called the feds from dallas has one in his strat. For the other two i'm at a loss what to do. I want to be able to get a sound like weezer has in them and maybe a little like ac/dc, just somewhere in that ballpark. I've been told everything from hotrail at the neck and coolrail in the middle, to lil 59ers or Jb's, so i don't have a clue. Thanks

Equipment:
Crate v3112
Jackson ps7
boss me 50
crybaby
.10 or .11 strings usually

I forgot to put, that the guitarist i like from dallas has two single texas specials there too, but i've heard they are noisey and white (black and red guitar). So i'm not sure if those would be good for what i want.

Also the site lists this for another guitarist i like.

Joshua Daugherty / Burden Brothers
Pickup Models : STL-3, STHR-1, ST59-1, SL59-1b

The PGb will handle all of the tones you mentioned. A good pairing for the PGb would be Cool Rail in the neck and a Vintage Rail in the mid.

For the mid would i get a neck or bridge model then too?

A neck model in the bridge would work fine.

A neck model in the bridge would work fine.

Is the middle pickup called the bridge then? Thanks...

Any other suggestions from anyone?

Nope, sorry. I made a mistake. The middle pickup is.. the middle pickup.

Re: Help buying two more pickups

Then why does musicians friend only sell a bridge and neck version of most pickups? Where can i get the mid one at?

Re: Help buying two more pickups

The neck version is the one that is usually used in the mid position.

Re: Help buying two more pickups

What type of sound do you try to have with the hotrail and cool rail together? Thanks

Re: Help buying two more pickups

So basically i've concluded to like these three options from this and other advice. What would you get? And why (what strenghts/weaknesses, type of sounds each would give)

1.
Pearly Gates
Cool Rail
Hot Rail

2.
Pearly Gates
Duck Buckers
Lil 59er or lil JB

3.
Pearly Gates
Vintage Rail
Cool rail
