Sound
:
No Opinion
Perceived output level: Output is on the low end of the spectrum. Sounds great with a tube preamp.
Tone: Balanced ,with not a lot of midrange
Sonic evaluation: Ampeg SVT III and a Genz Benz 4x10. The pickup works well on its own, giving a full, trebly response. It also works well with the Model One. I've installed a switch to allow the .47 capacitor to be switched in and out, allowing me to get the classic 4001 punch when using 2 pickups. The Carvin is nice and quiet
For which styles and positions is this pickup (un)suitable: Good for progressive rock, straight rock and country.

Comments: Playing for 20 years, other basses, Aria ProII SB 700, Ibanez SR 1200 5 string, Yamaha Fretless 5 String, Hoffner Beatle Bass. I am finally satisfied with the sound coming out of My Rick. I would replace this pickup.
