YJM in the neck - what's in the bridge ?

[Mr.Stratocaster]

Hello!!!
I have a strat with YJM pickup in the neck. I really like the way it sounds on solos, just great! I would like to find bridge pickup which will work well with YJM in the neck.
1. I need pickup which will be almost the same volume as YJM.
2. I will use bridge pickup for heavy riffs, and for cleans also.
3. It should be single coil sized.
I know DiMarzio Cruiser has low output. Will it work fine with YJM ?
HS-3 would be OK for the bridge position, but I need something fatter and more suited for thrash and gothic-doom styles.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks a lot!

You might want to have a look at the Pro-Track. It's supposed to be "Vintage Sounding" but in a single coil housing. Could be a good match.

Cruiser seems to me quite ideal output-wise to mix with YJM.
For heavy riffing, something like Super Distortion S could be cool (or hot)
BUT hot ceramic pickups don't necessarily have brilliant clean tones (you know, you could use the mid pickup for cleans)

Didn't notice this; Really you'd need much fatter and hotter pickup, a Fast Track 2, Super Distortion S, Tone Zone S, Hot Rails, etc.

+1 for the Pro Track.
Most others mentioned will smoke the YJM,IMO...
