Re: Strat pickup advice
GFS has options if you want to try out something a little lower cost. Their Premium Alnicos, lil' killers, single coil gold foils, neovin noiseless, as well as 70's greybottoms all seem to get great marks. They're all available as singles for mix n' match or as a whole set. You can buy a whole set of any of these for under $100, often less.

I posted last night in the pickup lounge about staining my Custom Flat white cover to match my JB Zebra coil. Really happy with the colour.

Re: Strat pickup advice
UPDATE:
I emailed Dimarzio with the very same question I originally posted on this thread, and they recommended the Satch Track, sayin' that while it is designed as a neck model, they say it would perform well in the bridge with lower output pups.
I think this has been an eye opener for me: even if I don't necessarly go for the Satch Track, what is your opinion over going for a neck model in the bridge position to better balance with the other pups?

Re: Strat pickup advice
Yes, you can swap covers on the ssl5 no problem.
If you like the ssl5 for yourself as well, the STK-S6 is the noiseless version of the SSL5. Very quiet with distortion, very fat, yet still a good stratty, Gilmourish vibe

Re: Strat pickup advice
I have tried the chopper in the bridge. It was fairly balanced sounding but brightish owing to the slanted bridge position on a strat. The satch track might do the trick though & blend well with the rest.
Have you considered a reverse slant bridge though?(hendrix style) I found the change useful enough to control an overly bright bridge position, changes the sound from twang into twong lol. A new pickguard would be cheaper than a whole new pickup if there is a swimming pool route in there.
