Is there any Cool Rails in bridge video/audio?

Hi
I got 3 HR in one of my Strats, loving it, but sometimes I think the Brigde HR has just a little too much output, I'm looking for a more classic Humbucker tone. The Cool Rails seem like a good choice but I just can't seem to find any example (other than that radio thingy on the official page) that demos the sound of the Cool Rails Bridge, anyone has one that can share or give me some insights? Thanks!

Just played strat with CR bridge. It's great for heavier playing and still allows for playing dynamic. Not over the top like HR. I dislike vintage sounding strat bridge pickup. Too thin and trebly. CR is just right. It has no strong flavor/character but it's certainly a workhorse pickup. New favorite.

The Cool Rails is mostly like the Jazz pickup- clean, clear and open. For more classic humbucker tone, the Little 59 is a better choice, but the other 2 Hot Rails will probably overpower anything else you put in there (unless you wired them in parallel, which would change the tone).

the hot rails neck is no where near as high output as the bridge, if you had the hot rails set low the cool rails could probably keep up. might be fairly bright compared to the hot rails though

Yeah, that is my thought too...tone-wise, the bright Cool Rails might not balance well in the bridge.
