I picked up a NOS Fender Tele Blue Lace Sensor neck pickup and installed it in my Am Tele. I love the warm smooth sound of the lace sensor neck pickup but the bridge pup is a lot louder and harsher. Can anyone recommend a Fender bridge pup that will go well with my lace neck pup? :D

Try raising the neck pickup and lowering the bridge pickup first.

+1. Keep in mind that you can raise lace sensors a lot higher than normal pickups.

Just the neck, Fender Tele Lace Sensors are getting really hard to find. :D I did some checking and the 62 ARI pup looks to be the lowest output and warmest of the Tele pups. Thanks for the reply! :D

+1 on adjusting the pup heights. turning a few screws is a lot less expensive than replacing a pup.
My long-time friend has a '75 Telecaster (which he's had since '75). He tried the lace a number of years ago. Went back to the good ol' standard Lipstick and has been a happy guy ever since.
