Neck single for HSS OPINIONS WANTED

Hey guys! I bought a used HSS guitar that has a DiMarzio Evolution in the bridge and 2 Fender true singles in neck and middle. I don’t know what kind of Fender pups these are but there isn’t a huge volume drop between those and the Evo. However, they are noisy. I want to replace them with something that will keep up with the Evo but still sound as creamy in the neck position.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!!!

DiMarzio Injector series, Satch Track neck, Cruiser Bridge (in the neck) or something like a Duncan Quarter Pounder would be my recommendations

is the custom stack + thicker than a cool rails? i havent tried them both in the same guitar to know. you using 500k pots?

It is! The Cool Rails, to me, is really scooped and open, and not thick at all.
 
Re: Neck single for HSS OPINIONS WANTED

Cool-rails can generate good output in the neck position when close to the strings. CR neck is at least a match for the output of the Satch Track. I use CR neck with a Fred bridge humbucker. The output levels balance pretty well an its a good compliment in tone. However with Evo bridge you will have some step in output.

I'm assuming your guitar will have 500k volume and 500k Tone, which is what I used with the CR neck and Fred bridge combination.
