hello from greece ...

my name is aris... i have a fender strat mim... i love it .. its an HSS .
the humbucker is a super distortion dimarzio and i think of replacing the neck fender pickup with someone else in order to have some warm solos and nice , warm , clean sound ... i think i want a mini humbucker but i dont know which one is better to combine with the super distortion in the bridge...
can you help me ??? it must be dimarzio for sure but which one ???
thank you all

Welcome.

Your DiMarzio Super Distortion is in fact, a high output pickup. Granted, not as high as many others out there but it still is considered one.

A standard type mini-humbucker will not give a warm, clean sound. Rather, it will give a crisp, clean sound. To fulfill your requirements, you want a DiMarzio Hot Minibucker (DP198).

why only DiMarzio's?

i like dimarzio`s but like the fender pickups too... do you have any suggestions of fender pickups ?? i know the super distortion combines pretty well withe the scn but i think these are too hot for clean sounds ... arent they ???

The SCNs are NOT hot pickups. Rather, they are essentially the same tonality of most of Bill Lawrence's Strat pickups. They are clear, clean and not powerful in the sense of 'hot'. The closest thing I'd compare them to is a CS 69s only humbucking.

You've previously stated you wanted a 'hot' neck pickup, now apparently, you've changed your mind so I don't know what you are looking for now.

For general reference: The hottest Fender pickup is obviously one of their full sized humbuckers. The hottest single coil is a Texas Special, the hottest stacked humbucker is the Hot Vintage Noiseless. All the rest of Fender's pickups are of a more moderate to low output. As to tonality, again, I no longer know what you want.

i am looking for neck and midle pickups for good clean sound and warm solos... when i wrote before tha scn are too hot i meant that as i know that scn are too hot to play clean warm sounds... maybe i am wrong . but for sure i want a neck pickup to combine with the dp100 . i like the sound of fender pickups that i have now in my strat but cannot combine well with dp100. if you have a suggestion of pickups with fender clean sound and no noise of a sigle coil (but in a sigle coil size) combining well with dp100 tell me...

as i saw in jacksons site , adrian smith has dp100 with scn in his guitar. thank you

The SCN may be a good mate in the neck for you based on what you've said above. You might want to look into DiMarzio's Virtual Vintage series of Strat pickups too.

thank you very much

scn is one pickup or a category ...

i mean the packet with the three scn pickups has 3 same pickups or one is for bridge , one for neck and you cannot put it otherwise .

i ask because i consider of buying a set of a friend of mine... and i want to be sure if i will buy the correct ones

You're welcome.

You could always consider outright Bill Lawrence pickups too as he designed the SCNs. Here's a link to his site:
