Bridge pickup choice?

I'm sure this question's been asked many times before, but sorry, I'm new here! I got out my 60/70s Tele after a long layoff, and found the (stock) bridge pickup had plenty of twang but no bottom end at all! I don't remember it like that, so maybe something's corroded inside and is shorting out a bit? So rather than a rewind, maybe it's time to fit a new low-noise pup? Bill Lawrence seem highly rated although how to choose between the 280 and the 290? The neck pickup is an old Gibson mini-humbucker, and to give you an idea of the sounds I like - Brad Paisley, Danny Gatton, Brent Mason, early Albert Lee.....
Thanks for your help.

It's perfectly fine to ask this question repeatedly because there's always new members signing on like myself and
with that sometimes a different perspective is offered.
There's just so many choices out there and I find it so frustrating that I'm probably going to leave my current arsenal stock. Includes a Highway1 Tele, Reverend AvengerTL, and an Epi Wildkat. But to answer your question, certainly if you liked the sound of your original
bridge pup, a Fralin rewind would be a safe bet. I've used an L280 set in another Tele and they were pretty
good...probably liked the neck L280 better than the bridge. You mention Mason, I know he uses the Duncan
Vintage stack bridge pup and that's also what's in his Valley Arts signiture model along with a mini-bucker in the neck. Another thing to consider is the middle position with both pups on....what pup will blend the best with your neck-bucker. Good luck! 8)

A lot of people around here (myself included) like the Duncan Broadcaster -- a good, relatively inexpensive, all around pickup.

BL 290s are hotter than 280s. Common combo is a 280 neck and 290 bridge.
