Looking for a single neck and a bridge humbucker for a guitar with the following specs

Alder body with walnut top (body is chambered)
Maple neck and fingerboard
Locking tremolo

I play hard rock, 80's hair metal, instrumental fusiom/jazz progressive music. Need to have a single neck pickup that would give me a great full clean sound, but will also sound good for soloing. Bridge humbucker should also be good for soloing and rythym work, but should not sound shrill. 

Thanks in advance for your recommendations.

Yeah, that's the obvious choice.
