JB in the bridge, Jazz in the neck, and what noiseless singlecoil in the middle?

[austin]

A have Hamer Diablo II with a Jazz, JB and some sort of noiseless Dimarzio in the middle. The Dimarzio's a bit weak, so I was thinking of putting something else in there, preferably Duncan and noiseless. Any recommendations?

Are you splitting the humbuckers in the 2 and 4 positions, and do you have any intent of using the single coil on it's own?

The humbuckers are not automatically split in 2 and 4, but they can be split with a push-pull. Don't plan on using the middle pickup by itself much.

If you're looking at splitting the neck and bridge, is it worth instead using a normal single coil, so when the hums are split it'll still be hum cancelling in 2 and 4? Otherwise, as far as hum cancelling, I've got what I thought were really great tones out of a Classic Stack Plus (STK-4, I believe), and I would think the classic is the way to go, output wise; any hotter and it wouldn't mix well with the jazz, in split or series configurations.

Alright, I'll keep an eye out for one of those. Thanks.

A Lil Screamin Demon in the middle would be awesome

A Vintage Hot Strat Stack Plus will sound great in there, and have enough output to compete between the 2 humbuckers. You can also go for a Classic Strat Stack Plus if you are after a more traditional quack sound in the middle (if splitting the humbuckers).

Of those recommending the STK-S4, is there a hidden recommendation that he split both the stack and the humbucker in positions 2 and 4, or should he just split the humbucker?

The humbuckers are not automatically split in 2 and 4, but they can be split with a push-pull. Don't plan on using the middle pickup by itself much.

Is position 3 just the middle pickup, or are you using it for something else?

What are your expectations from positions 2 and 4?
