Middle Pickup Reccomendations for Stratocaster?

[OG-Spiderman]

Looking to get YJM Fury for the neck and a Twang Banger for the bridge, just wanna see what people recommend for the middle pickup as there aren't to many sound files for them.

Looking to play indie or alternative rock music, Thank you so much in advance.

Why do you want a noiseless neck and a true single coil bridge? Anything would fit in the middle given your parameters.

They just sounded the best from the sound files, I was looking at rwrp to maybe have the 4th position also noiseless. Was just trying to see what other people have good experiences with.

An interesting combination of pickups you're choosing there, I've never used this one in that particular combination but one of my all-time favorite single coil middle pickups is the Classic Stack Plus. Noiseless but still retains that classic lively Strat tone. I used the Classic Stack Plus set in a guitar for a short while when I was playing with some guys doing Interpol meets Silversun Pickups type stuff and it worked great in that context. This is the neck pickup I'm talking about: https://www.seymourduncan.com/pickup/classic-stack-plus-strat-middle?__uuid_ref=5da02be03c75d

I'd go with these, too. Keeping everything noiseless keeps out the noise (duh), but if you want the Twang Banger in the bridge, the Classic Stack still sounds great in the middle.

I had two original classic/vintage stacks (with the maroon covers) and a hot stack in my Kramer back in the 80s. Those were great sounding pickups.

What kind of tones you're looking for with the middle pickup?

I have SSL-5 in middle with tapped QP (Low output and barky that way), and that's great OD sound for 70's style rock. On it's own, I found the middle SSL-5 to work great for gritty leads.

It doesn't really quite do the classic strat jangle though. Generally, not for cleans.

I use a SSL-1 in the middle with an SSL-5 bridge and Fender Fat 50's neck.

Ya i was looking for good clean tones, so I can make some adjustments to fit them with whatever I'm playing. But they are generally clean tones with some alterations.
