so I'm looking for a single coil sized pickup, noise cancelling, with 6 single pole pieces, with a ceramic magnet, that sounds really warm for the bridge. I tried Fender Jeff Beck model, but was a bit high endy for me. That's the only one I've been able to find with that criteria. Suggestions??
 
i was going to say bkp cobras but those are blades...
 
DiMarzio Virtual Heavy Blues ? I'm not sure if it's ceramic or not...I'm sure either DiMarzio or Duncan could make you one to meet your criteria.
EDIT: All of DiMarzio's hum cancelling singles are Alnico magnets, in fact only the SDS-1 non hum cancelling is ceramic...maybe they could make you a custom hum cancelling SDS-1, OR you could try putting the "dummy coil" under the pickguard like Fender did on some of their strats...I think it was on the Clapton model ? Or Suhr made/makes one as well...
 
Why are you limiting yourself to ceramic? If you were open to one of the absolute best sounding stacked singles that I've ever heard (but uses alnico magnets), I'd confidently tell you to check out the offerings from Kinman...stellar pickups!

Hey Darren, that was my question as well; I'd think if you wanted warmer single coils, you'd go with something Alnico based? In any event, I can personally recommend Kinmans (Avn Blues and Woodstock Plus sets), SD Stack Plus pickups (Classic, Vintage Hots and Custom) and Zexcoils (signature set - www.zexcoil.com); all of them are dead silent, and depending on which set run from straight up vintage to hot, almost humbuckery with the Zexcoil signature set. Let me know if you have any more questions!
