Noiseless full sounding S bridge

[Eamonn]

A club I play ay has such awful wiring that my strat is unusable there because of buzz and hum...both are quite bad. Done the sheilding, star ground, etc, noise is still really bad when I play with gain. I'm wondering if anyone can recommend a single coil size bridge pu that can match up with a 250k pot and fender cs 54's in middle and neck. A P90 type tone would be ideal, but it has to be a sc size.

Instead of looking for a different pickup you could look into a way of protecting against the noisy house wiring.

Something like these. (not the pickups).

Preventing the noise from getting into your system from the club's power is a good idea. Something like a Juice Goose power conditioner is popular with a lot of bands, and will also reduce vulnerability to under & overpower conditions that can be quite harmful to electronics.

But if the issue is with stage lighting or devices producing EMI, you may wind up having to tackle it through the pickups. I'd start with a STK-S9b Hot Stack Plus. If you wind up liking that, you could try the STK-S4 Classic Stack Plus pickups in the middle & neck. Or you could try an STK-S7 Vintage Hot Stack Plus in the neck to balance better against the bridge (a lot of strat players like the middle pickup to be the least hot, for better quack).

There's also the STK-S6 Custom Stack Plus, if you think the Hot Stack Plus is too much. And any of the hotter models could be used in the bridge. Given your mention of P-90, I'm not suggesting any of the side-by-side single-coil sized humbuckers, only the stacks.
