The Pickup Place / Re: Air Norton S help

I am fairly sure the Lonestar has a 250k tone pot for the neck.
Would replacing it with a 500k help at all....or does it produce other issues?

Thanks for the help guys.
Those that have experience with both.
Would you say the Satch Track is a tad less bright as to the Fast Track 1?
Are the numbers on the Dimarzio page (b/m/t/) a fairly good way to measure
two similar pickup...or is the output level more important to keep an eye on?

Will mess with the wiring this weekend as well.

The Pickup Place / Air Norton S help

Hello.
Just put a super nice Warmoth Gibson scale conversion neck on my 96 Lonestar Strat.
I went to a smaller 1 5/8 nut so I had some pole to string spacing alignment issues with the neck pickpup. Decided a rail style pickup would be a good idea.

I chose the Dimarzio Air Norton S and put a switch in to go single/humbucker.
It's a bit muddy and woolly for this guitar (when in Humbucking mode).
It's great when I switch it to single coil..but figure I should have something I like in both positions.
I know much about pickup tones form their line or other brands.

Going by their tone chart the Satch Track looks about right but the treble number is a lot higher and I am worried it will be too sharp.
What is out there rail style with a bit more tone and a tad less bass?
Thanks so much for any advice.

I posted this question in another forum but did not get any answers.
