Overall Rating

8
Comments: The pu worked well with my 3bd onboard preamp, and without it too. It can my low-mid priced instrument into a punchy metal beast, or -with some eq- a vintage J-Bass. Slappers probably love it for the highs and lows. Easy to wire (quick connect cable). Low price for good quality.
