Which neck single coil with custom custom bridge humbucker?

[Andyaxis]

Hi,
Looking to install a custom custom bridge humbucker into a basswood/maple bodied guitar with locking trem. Which would be a good single coil size humbucker for the neck position to match the output of the CC? Mainly mid to high gain amp settings, use neck pickup primarily for soloing, but would be good if the pickup split for some useable strat tones too. Any help greatly appreciated.

You might try putting that single coil sized humbucker in parallel for single-ish sounds rather than splitting it. I'd opt for the Cool Rails, but love the sound of the Classic Stack Plus for real single coil sounds at high gain (and both match with the CC).

No kidding. I read it correctly the first time.

It can't get MORE single coil, can it?

Hot rails, cool rails, both humbucker a in single coil size package which can be coil split. It's this type of pickup that I was asking about, and not the traditional single coil.

If using high gain, try a Hot Rails, and get a push-pull to set it to parallel. Pretty stratty, no hum.

you lost me. a single coil size humbucker is not a single coil, it is merely the same size as a single coil but has two coils so as to buck the hum. grounding out one of those coils makes it sound different
