Yeah that's not great in terms of mid/bridge or mid/neck pickups, but I've got mine wired so that position 2 is Bridge/Neck which I really like.
Have a wisdom, I hadn't thought of Suhr pickups.
The best pup combo I've had is rather annoying - it was a SD 59 and a BKP in the bridge. I thought it was a Warpig but I was wrong. Never did find out what it was.
It was a split coil paf in the bridge and 2 60's single coils
I really liked pos 2 with the paf and middle
(formerly customkits)
For the bridge pickup, after discussion with Ben, we went for an alnico 4 "paf" type, but I told him to wind it as hot as he thought sensible to go, given the pickup type. It ended up being a bit over 10K, still assymetrical wind on the coils, but there's obviously quite a bit of wire on both the bobbins. But it's great for smooth lead tones, and yet it still has a nice clean tone and mixes well with the neck pickup. I often find bridge pickups in humbucker sets just don't have enough volume to balance with the neck, but not here. The split coil tone is nice also. I'd say this is the best humbucker set I've had so far.
SD Pearly Gates for the bridge.

the pickup set that most surprised me for its versatility was the Duncan sentient and nazgul set. On paper they should be one trick ponies but they proved to be great.
Singlecoil my fav is the dinarzio hs2 and the BC2
I'm really enjoying my Axesrus pickups - neck Late 50s P90 and bridge Purist humbucker. Really versatile and in this instance they sound better than any other pickups I've had in there including Bare Knuckle (Mules and black dogs). I was half expecting them to be rubbish for some reason but they're still hand wound pickups at a reasonable price. I'd say the Purist is like a Mule but a bit hotter and less "blank canvas" sounding if that makes any sense.
Was thinking of changing it recently, as I would like to try one of Ash's Oil City tappable units, but ain't gonna be playing live that much longer so not sure now.
I like fender nocasters in a Tele and the oil city stone tone with scrapyard dog hb in my super strat.
