IMHO the Wilde/Bill and Becky Lawrence L280 noiseless pick ups are the best drop-in replacements for the sake of fat tone and clarity.
The Dimarzio Area T pickups are a close second. They might get you closer to the classic Ed Bickert pre-PAF tone, if that's what you're looking for, than the Wildes. Having used both extensively, I prefer the Wilde pickups.
Both of those have a bit of humbucker compression; if you really like the true single coil sound, the Wilde Microcoil pickups for the Telecaster are outstanding. While they are a true single coil, they pick up less noise due to the smaller coil not offering as much antenna. There are two versions, one with I presume a ceramic bar magnet and one with alnico polepiece magnets; I prefer the sound of the ceramics (the alnicos are a little too Stratty for my tastes).
In my case, I have found that I like adding a resistor in parallel between the hot output of the bridge pickup and ground to sweeten/round off the highs just a little bit and make it less spiky. There are wiring diagrams on the Wilde website and also Lindy Fralin's website has a very nice page on this. Basically, this makes the bridge pickup think it is seeing a lower resistance pot, say 100K, while the neck pick up thinks it's seeing 250K. Folks who belong to the icepick school of Telecaster bridge pickups would probably hate it.
Thought I would share. Aerodyne Telecaster. Stock pickup replaced with CC in P-90 case and upgraded bridge pickup. Both by Pete Biloft at Vintage Vibe pickups.
I was glad that article mentioned she ' was barely 28. '
You really have to wonder how often she gets carded at a place that sells alcohol.
I bet every time.

Sometimes I use it, sometimes I don't. Depends what I'm hearing each time I use the amp, what my mood is at the time, and whether I've been able to fool myself that I can hear that high anyway.
This guy has exposed the massive plugin scam that audio companies have going on. In this video he proves that all EQ plugins on the market have exactly the same sound and you can use any random, even...
Hey thanks! This is not the one from 12th Fret. That transaction worked out quite well. No cross-border problems, nice folks as well.

^ Yep. I'm also gonna make the guideline of a set key per week, go up a half step each week. So for example, A this week, Bb next week, B the week after that etc. If you don't want to do that just...

We know that but check the thread title. The OP wants it in minor.
