"What is an equivalent pickup to the Dimebag set neck pickup?"

There is a catch, it needs to be a single coil sized humbucker. I really enjoyed the sound Dimebag had. (no ****, right?) I only have room for a full size pickup in the bridge position. It is single coil at the neck. I have read other posts but did not see this unique question answered. Any help is greatly appreciated!:headbang:

This is the Dimebag set FYI - https://www.seymourduncan.com/pickup/dimebag-set?__uuid_ref=5cbfb2745905d?__uuid_ref=5cbfb274590a1

Maybe an SD Hot Stack pick up which I personally have. I think it's a ceramic pup with high output. You can split between series and parallel of the coils. I think this pick up would pair nicely with the bridge.

My guess would be a Little 59 bridge in the neck. He used a full sized 59 bridge in the neck with a Dimebucker in the bridge.

Thank you! My search technique of their "pickup selector" was obviously flawed,like to think I would have caught that.

All, thanks for those recommendations,; going to consider them and an others that get posted but I will likely go with the above "Little 59" recommendation. That would seem to most closely match. Let me know if I am missing something though.

Dime used a SD 59 in the neck.
This was mine 2000 NAMM booth guitar SN 002 500 XL Bridge SD 59 neck. Dime got # 1 and 3 BTW.

If you don't like a 59b for the neck, how about a PGb in the neck?
