noiseless pickup for hi gain strat ???

[risingforce]

My gear is...

Standard Fender Stratocaster ( includes standard fender pickups )
Marshall Jackhammer
Marshall Compressor
Behringer GX 210 Amp

I play hi gain hard rock style. I'm in trouble with classic Fender problem. Yes, it's unwanted noise. I think to change my pickups. Some of my friends advise Seymour Duncan SHR-1 hot rails or Di Marzio Fast Track 2 for the bridge and Di Marzio DP 217 YJM for the neck.

Your opinions are very important for me. I'm waiting for your valuable advises...

Thanks a lot...

A Hot Rails and a pair of Cool Rails in the neck and middle should get youwhere you want to be. I'm also really digging the EMG Dave Gilmour set that's currently in my strat. It has great cleans and awesome high gain tones with no noise. :burnout:

Which EMG model do you suggest ? S, SV, SA ? Do you suggest me to use a noise gate ?

Thanks for your advises...

I think the new Duncan Noiseless Strat pickups which Duncan showed at NAMM this years and which we've been testing the prototypes of are going to make alot of gigging Strat players very happy when they are released later this year. No price, no name as yet...but IMO they are the best Strat Noiseless pickups I have used. And the bridge pickup is wound hotter than a stock Strat bridge pickup so it'll rock.

Jennifer Batten (with the Jeff Beck group) uses Duckbuckers and the JBJr. That's a great combo for rock...and humbucking too!

I'm using the SA's with SPC and EXG controls. I haven't found the need to use a noise gate yet. :burnout:
