anyone know who makes a stacked humbucker replacement for the 51 p-bass style single?

Seymour Duncan...

How does the Duncan HB sound? I've got a Duncan SCPB2 in my Sting and basically like the tone, but am bugged by the buzz. I know that I should shield the Sting, it's on my list of things to do, along with eating healthier. Does the HB retain some/much of the flavor of the SC pickups? Are there any other choices besides the Duncan for a HB '51 replacement? And does the Duncan HB require routing extra depth?

On a related note, I recently got a Lull J with Dimarzio J's (humbucking) and it is dead quiet. I assumed there would be a comprehensive shielding job, but surprise, the control cavity has none whatsoever.

Fralins

I might be ordering one after I see what my Sting sounds like.

The Fralin is split, not stacked.

Sorry...I thought that '51 had single coils only.

Not sure if we're on the same page here, but I just went to Fralin's site and they offer both a single-coil and a humbucker in the same Tele single-coil size form factor. Whether the coils are stacked or side by side, it's still a humbucker.

The single coil is the one I was talking about.

That's true, I mentioned that because the OP said "stacked"...thought he might have coil tapping in mind.
