The Middle Pickup Position

[stubin]

Just curious what is everyone is using for their middle pickup...for those that have a Hum-Sing-Hum configuration. I just bought the JB for the Bridge and the Jazz for the Neck...I was thinking the Litle '59 for the middle.. what does everyone think..any suggestion would be appreciated....

I've got an HSH Ibanez w/ 59n and C5br, and a Duckbucker in the middle. Sounds pretty good, but there's a big output difference (useful to me for now). I've heard the Cool Rails would match up better, output-wise.

There's several I like. Vintage Rails, (more or less, same as a Duck), Cool Rails, (for a little more output), Classic Stack, SSL-1, SSL-6. I've used all those in the middle and liked them all. VR is probably my favorite.

Artie,
Are you splitting your neck pup and are trying to get a passible strat possition 3/4 type of sound? If so, then go with a true single coil. If not and you are just looking for a middle pup to add another tonal option, go cool rails.
