Is what you hear you conflating your regard for the pickup and the actual eq and output of it? :P
I'm not trying to criticize it. It's literally built that way tho. Vintage wind, old rattly cover, demagnetized A2. Literally every parameter minimizes the strength. Touting the whole set as rich or being a vintage pup enthusiast doesn't mean the bridge pup itself isn't one of the thinnest or the absolute thinnest in the line.

The Antiquity set is one of the best sets I have ever tried. it's got a sweet top end, a slightly scooped but 'chewy' feel to the mid and the low end isn't as saggy as alnico II might suggest.
Clint, I'm sorry, but I think the majority here disagrees with you.

Both of those videos sound like the pickups they're demoing. The Seth bridge is very sparkly, the Antiquity is beefier than the Seth but still clear.Join me in the fight against muscular atrophy!

Yeah no, clank is obviously subjective. I don't think it's off base to call only the bridge sound thin.
I like the Seth/Ant sets a lot. They're extremely elegant and vintage accurate. The bridges stock are too thin for me. If I was going to run them as something close to stock, I would remove the cover from the bridges and load em with 3 double thick A2s. Would keep the necks stock.Last edited by Clint 55; 01-27-2023, 06:48 PM.The things that you wanted
