    Default Help buying two more pickups

    I have a jackson ps7 (HSS) that i started deciding to replace the pickups. I just purchased a pearly gates for the humbucker because the band i like called the feds from dallas has one in his strat. For the other two i'm at a loss what to do. I want to be able to get a sound like weezer has in them and maybe a little like ac/dc, just somewhere in that ballpark. I've been told everything from hotrail at the neck and coolrail in the middle, to lil 59ers or Jb's, so i don't have a clue. Thanks

    Equipment:
    Crate v3112
    Jackson ps7
    boss me 50
    crybaby
    .10 or .11 strings usually

    I forgot to put, that the guitarist i like from dallas has two single texas specials there too, but i've heard they are noisey and white (black and red guitar). So i'm not sure if those would be good for what i want.

    Also the site lists this for another guitarist i like.

    The PGb will handle all of the tones you mentioned. A good pairing for the PGb would be Cool Rail in the neck and a Vintage Rail in the mid.

    A neck model in the bridge would work fine.

    Nope, sorry. I made a mistake. The middle pickup is.. the middle pickup.

    The neck version is the one that is usually used in the mid position.

    So basically i've concluded to like these three options from this and other advice. What would you get? And why (what strenghts/weaknesses, type of sounds each would give)

    1.
    Pearly Gates
    Cool Rail
    Hot Rail

    2.
    Pearly Gates
    Duck Buckers
    Lil 59er or lil JB

    3.
    Pearly Gates
    Vintage Rail
    Cool rail
