Perfect pick-ups for and bassist
Zak Ferrell from Charlotte, NC
Quality
Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable?
These are definitely high quality. I've been playing them for a couple months and they haven't had any fault in them. The sound and internal grounding in them has stayed consistently functioning and has just as good tone as when they were first installed.
Features
What do you consider to be the best features of this product? What features would you add to this product if you could?
The pick-ups come with everything you need to get the best tone out of them. I have them installed on my Ibanez gsr200fm and they sound terrific. I olay a lot of different styles and these fit all those in their own way.
Sound
How is its Tone?
What can I say? The tone covers a lot of ground for a bass player. I like a tone that covers all the spectrums of bright, dark, and mid frequencies. I feel for a bass player looking to get the high, bright sound without having to loose any of the low, ballsy punch of the low end this covers that and does it well.
Playability and Feel
How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing?
Tone
Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin?
These are hot pick-ups. You won't have to make extra efforts to get a strong sound even at the lightest touch on the fret-board. I play in a metal/blues sort of band so being precise is important for more complicated parts. I also like to do a lot of tapping where the majority of the tone of the song comes from consistent hammer-ons. These pickups cover that just right. As mentioned before you'll get the low punchy sound without loosing the clarity you get when setting the highs up high on your eq.
