Neck Humbucker recomendations

[2taall]

Hey all, I have a MIM strat and I;m pulling out the stock neck pup. The bridge is fitted with a PATB1 Trembucker. The body is made of poplar, and it has a rosewood fretboard. The sound I'm looking for is a very dark, warm, full, and fuzzy distortion sound.

any recomendations on which humbucker could give me this?

thanks

warm and full sounds like the APH-1 to me. I wouldn't necessarily call it dark, but I think it might be the best match for the PATB1.

Probaly the Invader neck would do it.

Its actually a bright pickup, in a bright guitar aswell.

Doesnt the distortion also come in the neck?

OK, how about this. The tone I am after is the one that Weezer has on the green album. It's a full sounding tone with warmth and a nice fuzzy distortion sound.

Here is the guitar:

1995 MIM strat:
*poplar body
*PATB1 Original Trembucker in the bridge(sounds very good, not too
harsh, but has enough balls for a good solo if needed)
*rosewood fretboard.
*500k tone pots, and volume pot.
*.022 capacitors.

I should also mention that the neck pickup I am replacing is not the stock one, it is a Little 59', but I am unhappy with it. It sounds a little muddy and it doesn't have the fuzzy distortion I am looking for)

I recently read that the 59 pickups are better suited to warmer guitars, so this may be my problem.

thanks
