Asking again once I realized just how low output my favorite pickup is.
I have a single GFS Memphis on the bridge (5.5k HB). I'm looking to add a strat neck pickup, but I want hum cancelling. I see a few options around 5-6k, which I'm already concerned about exceeding the bridge output. The Memphis is low output, and I presume low pull, as many folks mention it can be real close to the strings.
In addition to the more usual suspects I'm wondering if a hot rail humbucker in parallel might be a better match. The lil killer (also GFS) is available in 6k, 10k and 15k. The 10 and 15 in parallel would be around 2.5k (probably too weak) and 3.5k. And of course backing the neck off is probably a good thing.
Anyone try to match a single to a low output HB? I know that DCR is worthless by itself, still it's the best approximation of turns we are given or can easily measure.
