I mean yes it definitely is in specific instances, obviously, but I'm not sure about mine.
I'm getting a new baritone, (mandocello technically but 30" bass actually, just tuning it CGDA like a cello,) and I'm planning to put a Black Winter in it. I'm debating having the custom shop wind it on either rails with one ceramic magnet, or as kind of a SLUG/Hawkbucker type with two ceramic magnets, (or 1 ceramic 1 A8?)
Has anyone done anything like this? I've heard the Black Winter is particularly sensitive to pickup height, so while I don't think the response is gonna be too bad using the 6-string version, if rails would make a significant difference I can probably pay the extra $70 without anxiety.
