in that case that would be the equivalent to 115k/7.8n.The math is more complicated than that.

it would limit the operation of the tone controlThis.
In a strat I’ll use a 5-way super switch and add up to two capacitor/resistor pairs to position 1 in addition to a tone control. The last vintage output strat I did has a Lace Sensor Hot Gold Neck in the bridge with 6.8n/270k, 1n/200k,
and 33n on a 250k tone control with a 47k series resistor, also dedicated to position 1.
PS: I found a b-stock "Vintage Blues", and I ordered it...It’s my favorite stacked vintage output pickup for the bridge position, though you’ll probably want to come up with a scheme to reduce the top-end chime for distorted applications.
I would also take a look at the Virtual Vintage Blues. The Alnico 5 magnets provide more dynamic range and punch while also allowing for a less aggressive wind to provide a sparkly top end compared to the Injector Neck and HB2.
However…
Seeing that you raised a concern about brightness, the HB2 might be the best choice, or perhaps even the Virtual Solo which also has the performance benefits of Alnico 5 stated earlier.
I have this , going to use it in the bridge of my ‘87 Charvel Model 2
