Which Strat pickups can get THIS tone.....?
This is an old youtube vid that some of you have seen from Bobby D. at MAE playing a '64 Strat. Are there Strat pickups available that can get this tone? Big, percussive, and greasy with piano bass. I like everything about it. Are there any pickups on the market that will do this?...or do you have to have the '64 Strat?

It's the whole package, not just the pickups. There's magic in that particular run of Strats.

I think one tends to buy great, boinky bass notes by paying for it with a thin and 'airy' top end. OTOH, that IS Strattiness so YMMV, but pick the pups carefully.

i'd think the amp had a little something to do with that tone.

Also, I like that "plinkyness" on this '64....kinda has a Jazzmaster quality. I listened to some sound sample vids of the pups already mentioned and none sounded like the orig. clip....I'm thinking maybe the Don Mare/Vaughn's.... but those may also be a little tame for what I'm looking for.

Tone=Terrific, kudos for having the balls to point out the plinkiness on the upper strings lol. No doubt a killer ax, but you can find a better sounding one for 1/5 the price. By the way a nice demo and playing by Bobby D.

I get that tone out of my Classic Player 50's strat with 57/62 pickups.
It is a very specific tone I haven't gotten from any other Strat. Pickups are a tad bright so I roll back the tones to about 7. Bright, clean, clear and full bass even at 7.
