Well, the Seth lovers and the Antiquities are not wax potted for reasons of historical accuracy. There's also a feeling among folks that play these that they seem to have a bit of a honkiness that the old ones had, contributed mostly to the non-potting.
I don't play high gain stuff enough to worry about it. If that's the way Seymour makes them, then that's the way I play them.
I think there's more of a tone change when you remove a cover than when it's potted or not. And that's pretty slight anyway.

I do agree that there are differences with open coil pickups compared to covered buckers, but what about potting?
