UNPLANNED DOWNTIME: 12th Oct 23:45
Sorted - HSS Pickups (SD Classic stack, ideally)
Richardrichard
Frets: 325
As title, looking for pickups for an HSS build.
I think I'd like to go noiseless, but still stratty (i.e. not mini buckers) for middle and neck, though could still be interested in normal SCs
For bridge, something with some balls ala Duncan distortion, JB, super distortion, maybe custom custom etc. I would like this to be a trembucker, F spaced etc.

I have them in a few guitars
I am considering the SC-sized Kinman P90-emulations, which should better match the HB output level
Also JBE:
I haven't tried these, but assume they are very good: S-Deluxe Pickups for Stratocaster and Strat | JBE Pickups
they should sound more stratty than normal hotrails
Also worth considering this for the HB:
HB and HB Two Tone humbucker pickups | JBE Pickups
I have them in 2 HSS guitars:
two modes, both noiseless
Crisp HB
and a more strat-SC mode
Will take a look at JBE's, not come across those before.
I went down the noiseless rabbit hole a bit and the Injector/VVHB2 combo was the best I tried. In fact if I'd known then what I know now, I'd have probably stuck with it.
The Eruption is not a standard Eruption. It was a custom order with an alnico II magnet back when Ash was branding them ASL pickups. I've got the card that came with it saying what it is. Sounds great though.
