    Arrow Which passive pickup for this sound/guitar?

    I have an Alder Strat, and I want a tight pickup with tight bass, and lots of treble/high mid crunch. So far i'm looking at these.

    I've already tried most of the other Duncans and Dimarzios, and I don't want to go active with this guitar.

    I agree with the one poster 'bout the Distortion. But, if not that - maybe the Custom or Evo 2. The D Activator is close, but you might find the highs dark as they just reach a tad higher than the mids; so when it's distorted it's kinda dark. Not bad, but there are pickups with more treble - like the D Activator neck pickup for instance (which can be used in the bridge.
