Sound
:
No Opinion
Perceived output level: Mostly the same...maybe a LITTLE lower
Tone: more metalic on slap, very rich and growly with fingers. Way better than stock
Sonic evaluation: I use a boss ds-1 ditortion, and a zoom bfx-708. For my amps i have a fender bassman 100w w/15inch the i run that through a channel on my carvin 200w PA system w/ 6 channels, 2x10's. Sounds awsome. Simply put. Shakes the house. Pickup works great with stock pre-amp
For which styles and positions is this pickup (un)suitable: The MMX is the best for funk. I believe they make a MMK(trebly) and a MMC(bassy) so you can get what you want to sound like.
Overall Rating

10
Comments: I would buy it again.I dont really know how someone would steal JUST the pickup...but anyway. It was $100. thenm it was $10 shipping from seattle. Then is was like $35 for installation. So it was about 160 with tax. Im sure many people have the same problem with the stock and this is a AWESOME replacement. And it looks cool as hell. Its just all black with "bartolini" on it. I have a Burnt apple stingray and it looks so freak'n cool. I love it.
