Bill Lawrence and Dimarzio Virtual Vintage are two I can think of off the top of my head. I'm sure the Fender Noisless and Kinmans are H/B also.

I read that thinking that Spoto was asking for a real humbucker sounding humbucker, and not just a noiseless single coil sounding pickup.

Spoto...more clarification?

yes, a real humbucker.
thanks

IMHO, you'll never get "real" humbucker tone from any side-by-side, single-coil-sized humbucker.

Part of the sound of a humbucker is the fact that the two sets of polepieces are a certain distance apart, thus sensing the string at different locations and creating a particularly-sized magnetic field.

This is part of the reason that two RW/RP single coils, even if wired in series, don't sound like a humbucker.
