That can be a problem with some of the Tele bridge pickups out there. If you want to stick to a Fender made pickup, the Texas Special's sound really nice.
I have a set of Bare Knuckle pickups ("The Boss") in my T style and absolutely love them. They have the classic Tele twang, but without the ice pick shrill, and can still rock. They have several models to choose from. "The Boss" has a fuller bass than usual.
Each pickup has several sound clips to listen to.

I've always been partial to Seymour Duncan pickups, but Bare Knuckle pickups just flat out sound incredible! You can't go wrong with either company.
BTW, you will find that, even in the Tele world, there is an alternative pickup out there that will meet your needs. They wind that bridge pickup for every possible sound these days.
On a budget? Look at GFS pickups at www.guitarfetish.com. Toneriders sound great, too! www.tonerider.com
The choices can get a bit crazy these days. Every major manufacturer of Tele pickups, (i.e. Fender, Duncan, DiMarzio) will make a pickup that doesn't sound as shrill as the one in your Tele.
Have fun with the search!

Thanks, I'll try and find some samples online
In terms of fitting, is it just a case of soldering 2 wires and screwing the new one in place?
