I have a partscaster with a solid ash body coming in the mail that needs a more suitable set of pups for my needs. Clean sounds are a must and it needs to handle post processing well. Don't want to spend more than, say, $100 for the pair.

Thanks a bunch in advance.

i bet you're probs gonna use the neck pup mostly, so i'd say spring on that one mostly

Bill Lawrence/Wilde Keystones come in at $64 for a set, $72 if you need chrome covering on the neck pickup, and the TDPRI folks tend to recommend them highly. The MicroCoil Tele set may still be at the $80 intro pricing, but I'm still trying to get good intel on how well they play with teh fuzz. (Low inductance and fuzz don't always get along.)

You know me well, I pretty much main neck or neck + bridge on every two pup guitar I've ever had.

Whatever squire use for their classic vibe teles sound great. I have two Tele pickup guitars and they play real well with fuzz. If you usually use the neck pickup you could also always go for and mini humbucker.

I just bought a DiMarzio Twang King neck pickup. It was the coolest neck pickup I could find (around 6k IIRC). Amazon had the best price at $50

On a budget Rose handwounds are great (even not on a budget).
I have a JS Moore AlnicoV neck pickup that's lying spare after I converted to an Esquire.
I also have a set of pickups from a CV50 if you're interested.
