Pickups

Johnny99	Pickups I have a Yamaha cheapo tele with 2 humbuckers. I like this guitar because I can leave it out without worrying about it. The stock pickups are not bad but, in bad need of an upgrade. Neck muddy lows. Bridge actually not bad, but squeals and is not tapable. I was considering SD Alnico II, but hear that they are not very clear. I play in a cover band and need versatility. I like the twang of a tele, but like the balls of a good 'bucker. Any suggestions? Thanks!! jny99
