Which neck pickup to match the Broadcaster?

[straightblues]

I have a tele. I just bought the Broadcaster bridge pickup. Now I need to figure out which neck pickup to match it with. I play 40's and 50's blues, Chicago and West Coast styles. I play fairly clean through old tube amps. I am looking for a vinatage raw tele sound. What would be the best Neck pickup for me. I spend the majority of my time using the neck pickup, so it has to be a good one.

I always use Duncans in all of my other guitars,but in my 2 Teles I really like the CS Fender Nocaster Tele pickups...I normally use the Nocaster in the bridge and either the Texas Special Tele or 52 Vintage tele neck pickup...I Like the TS neck though because it gives me more overall fullness in tone at the neck and it's a bit darker...The 52 vintage Fender is just a great sounding Tele pickup...Funny,because I've yet to try Duncan's Tele stuff,knowing that the Tele is his "forte" :wink:

I also got a TS neck.
Its a round smooth pup.
I have it with a SD '54 bridge.

I'm hoping to get another tele going later on with a broadcaster + SD '54 Rhythm, or the antiquity set. (And offcourse a rosewood board to complete the deal)
