Advice on an upgrade noiseless neck pickup?

[JimmiGunne]

Another issue with my el-cheapo Mexi Strat....

I play Blues with the neck pickup, not neck/bridge. This gives me a deep "Texas blues" tone. But of course, by itself it has a hellacious level of hum! If I stick with this axe, I definitely need to get rid of the stock MIM neck pickup, and replace with a noiseless one. I have already upgraded the bridge pup to a humbucker-type, so I just want to replace the neck or neck& middle pups only.
Recommendations?

Personally (and pups are a really personal thing) I like the Fender Vintage Noiseless. After many variations, my Strats all hold Vintage Noiseless, they do a wonderful "woody blues" tone.

I would suggest trying a few guitars with different pups in them, the Fender range offers Strats with the noisless and hot noiseless, but there are also blades and many others with varieties of noisless to compare against. Many consider the Kinmans the best noisless pup of the lot, but they are also a lot more expensive.

Hope this helps.

I use a Fender MIM powerhouse strat. WHich came stock with the vintage noiseless. I have to say they are great PUPs. I really love my Strat. I have read your other post about the problems you have had with yours. Sorry you got a lemon. Dont give up on fender they are the best sounding guitar if you want to play electric blues.
