    a good single coil...

    I'm looking out for a new single coil to go into the neck position of my strat. I'm looking for something that sounds great when used clean but also good when played with some gain. I like the sound of the YJM single coils, but i don't know of anyone in the UK that sells them. could you guys recommend anything?

    by the way, it has to be hum cancelling

    YJM is great, so is the HS-3. i use both and am happy with both.

        Although the LIL 59 and JB Junior do sound good, i'm going for a single coil that has the characteristics of a single coil but with just a bit more output and cancels out hum.

          HS3 or YJM do EXACTLY what you are looking for. maybe even an HS2 if you want a little less output.

          i think di'marzio dominates that market. another pickup to look into, but i have never used, is the "virtual vintage" single coils. i have a friend that is a big strat player and he loves the "virtual vintage heavy blues" pick up. he mixes that in with the HS pickups.

                  Regarding the Vintage Noiseless.. its too low output. Its a great stock sounding silent strat single coil though. The JB sounds too much like a humbucker because it is a humbucker.
                  The Red Lace Sensor is very hot and still sounds like a single coil. The Seymour Duncan staggered pole 1/4 Pounder is another great single but its noisy under high gain conditions.

                    The two single coils I have used in the neck position are either the Dimarzio Virtual Vintage or Dimarzio Fast Track. At one time I had Duncan Hot Rails in the middle and neck positions but they were way too muddy and got yanked out in about 30 minutes.

                      DiMarzio HS series. Either a 1, 2 or a 3.

                        The HS3 and YJM are by far my favorite single coil pickups.
