I'm not sure how to advise on a good starting point for you though, not without quoting standard set up measurements

Adjust the neck pickup so the top of the cover is level with the tops of the height adjustment screws (if they're domed) or about 1mm (the thickness of a fairly thick pick) above the pickguard if they're not.
Adjust the middle pickup so it's just slightly higher that that.
Adjust the bridge pickup so it's about twice the height of the neck. Check that you can still get a medium thickness pick between the polepieces and the strings when they're fretted at the body end of the neck.
Then, using a full, clean sound, and as many varieties of your playing style as you can, adjust the middle and bridge pickups so they are the same apparent volume as the neck. You may need to tilt the neck and middle pickups slightly so they're higher on the treble side than the bass, otherwise they can be a bit boomy at the low-end. The bridge pickup usually needs to be level or slightly the other way round.
Finally, try the same thing with an overdriven sound. You may find it needs minor tweaks, but probably not much.
