I have yet to install them in a guitar, but I HAVE heard them in different guitar.
THE best sounding pickups I have ever heard.
EVER.
Warm, smooth, fat, sound as good clean as they do distorted.
I hate EMG tone for various reasons:
Compression. I like something that allows me MAXIMUM dynamic range.
WAY too 'cutting.' To the point of harshness.
A constant EQ curve that gives them a sound that comes off as something I can only describe as 'unnatural' to me.
These have NONE of that. FAR more dynamic range than any pickup I've ever heard.
More cut than many humbuckers, but something along the lines of the cut of alow output hummer with the bass responce and midrange warmth of higher output ones. An 'A2' quality to them.
THe bridge models was tight and fat. Not as tight as a JB to be honest, but has a more 'singing' quality to it.
The nekc models was FAAAT. SOme would call it 'muddy' but the treble respones was there, and there was great note seperation and clarity there was jsut ALOT of low eand with it goes DEEP into the lows. I find many humbuckers stop in the low-mids.
Clean, the neck pickup produced a FANTASTIC jazz tone from a SOLIDBODY.
They actually sounded almost MORE woody than the guitar did acoustically :question:
In any case, I will put these in the Bass VI type bari I'm building at do by best to get more of them.
