Hmmm... Blackmoo, the Evo neck is not very bright.. it does have a tight low end and a nice amount of treble but otherwise, its a totally different animal from the screaming Evo bridge.
Anyway, pink, you want warm but bright sounding? Chances are, if a pup is bright, it wouldn't sound very warm and vice versa.
The Dimarzio Humbucker From Hell is bright but smooth and sounds like a single coil. Check it out. I did a soundclip here too..

shredcow: yeap thats why i dont know is there any pu that is warm and bright @.@ yeap i heard the HFH clip..but will it sounds hot and bright when use with distortion?
hmm can tell me more about evo neck,breed and air nortion?
i think im looking for a neck pickup thats warm but sounds bright and sharp when pump with distortion..is there such pickup?
if not maybe you guys can recommend me one hot,bright and sharp neck pickup for the neck..and maybe i will look for a warm singlecoil to put in the middle..

Well man, the clip I did, the HFH was on heavy distortion. Its not a very hot pup but you judge for yourself from the clip I did.
The Evo neck, I already described it above.
The Breed neck is something like the PAF Pro (think Joe Satch's neck tone) but fatter with much stronger mids. It doesn't have the irritating wet-ish picking sound that the Satch's neck tone has.
Air Norton is just glassy and smooth. It is not a bright pup but its warm. I personally dislike it, I find it just so glassy and smooth, its like character-less.
Hot bright and sharp would be the HFH.
OR, get a bridge pup in the neck.
And what about putting a warm single coil in the middle? You want it to warm up your hot, bright neck pup when the pup switch is at (assuming you got the Ibanez H-S-H switching or similar) position 2?
Anyway, since you are going to put a Super Distortion, why not try the DiMarzio Super 2? Its meant to be paired with the Super Distortion and its one hot neck pup. I've not tried this but from the description on the DImarzio website, look like what you want!

hmm den i think HFH is not the pickup im looking for :wink:
shredcow do you have clips of breed? hee
yeap mine is the H-S-H configuration..using an RG..but my main reason for having a warm single coil is to get smooth, warm tone. havnt thought of what u have mentioned
i actually thinking of getting SD Antiquity strat custom for the single coil..heard the lead in a band using it..and really like the tone of it. but aint gonna get it any time sooner.
wonder if anyone here is using the super 2...can give some comments?
maybe i will just go for a hot,bright,sharp pu..but not too clean yeah(any recommendations)

All my material was done with Breed bridge and neck pups... http://music.download.com/Shredcows
You know man.. if you want your middle pup to be a pup for lead... it can be done but i find it weird. Reason being, IMO, the middle pup in a H-S-H guitar should be something lower output in order to achieve a clean tone.
Sure you can get a lower output middle pup and STILL use it for lead but there will be a drop in saturation or volume.
IMO, if you get a hot middle pup thats say, the opposite of your neck pup (hot, bright), which would mena your middle pup is warm and smooth, plus with enough output to match the other humbuckers, thats fine. But note you might lose out on the clean to slightly overdriven tones that a lower output single coil can give you.
Also, note that the middle pup, sounds like a cross between the bridge and neck.. so you might not like that tone.
You heard the lead in band use that SD Antiquity pup? In which position? Neck? It would make a difference if you were to throw it into your middle position.
The Super 2 should be what you want... apprently, its very hot and bright. Compliments the Super Distortion very well. I don't know abt the cleans though. The HFH on the other hand, has very nice stratty cleans.

okie..thanks for your advice shredcow..so your meaning middle pup aint that suitable for lead yeah? so is it advisable if its use to warm the bright neck tone?

No no... I'm saying that... IMO, the middle pup should be lower output. WHy? Because (in your case, which I believe is hi gain stuff) your neck and bridge humbuckers are already there to take care of the high gain stuff.
Now, your pup switch positions 2, 3 and 4 are there to add versatility to your tone.
Its fine if you take something hot for the middle, like the Tonezone S. You'll have basically a 3 humbucker guitar! But you will lose out on getting that spanky clean/breaking-up tone that lower output single coils are famous for.
The middle pup can be used for lead, no problems.
I would advise you to get something lower output for the middle pup... whether its warm or bright, it really doesn't affect the neck tone a lot. Only position 2, whcih is split neck inner coil in parallel with the middle pup, will give you tonal difference but more towards a different sound instead of warming up or brightening up the neck.
