Looking for possible pups selection

[Cherrydogbrad]

Hi folks,
I'm using a strat-style guitar(HSS) playing in a Top40 cover band, plus a corporate showband. Styles vary from hard rock, to clean/gritty country and blues with some 50/60's rockers thrown in.
My guitar is equiped with a JB(SH-4) bridge, stock rwrp sc middle, and a hotrail in the neck. Master vol. Master tone. 5 way switch wired:
1-hot rail full(neck)
2- hot rail split with middle
3- middle sc
4- middle sc with JB split
5- JB full(bridge)
note that all positions are noiseless other than the middle sc alone.

I may change the neck Hot rail to something else possibly, but really I'm needing to change out the middle sc to something less bright and thin sounding(stock pup). Looking for suggestions that would continue to give me the same or similar p/u selector options. Looking to keep as noiseless as possible and am not looking to adding any more switches or pots. Also some advise on tone cap values would be usefull.
TIA,
BJ

No replies? Let me approach this from another direction then.

If I was to use, say a Classic Stack Plus in the middle position along with the existing JB in the bridge and the Hot Rail in the neck, would it need to be rwrp to give me hum cancelling in positions 2 + 4 while splitting the HB's?
TIA,
BJ

I don't know much about single coils so I'll let others chime in. As far as versitility goes, I think you'll be good with the JB in the bridge. A custom custom or C5 would be quite versitile as well if your looking for more of a pumped up PAF sound. (I think the regular custom would lean too much towards rock/heavier rock for what your doing)
