Comments: I would recommend this pickup to everybody, it is the best pickup I have ever seen. I have been playing about 2 years, and I only own amps besides my bass. I love the beefy tone i get from this pickup. The only thing I do not like is the string noise/buzz i get, you know, that thing where if you put your hand/arm on a metal part, it stops buzzing. I did compare it to a Music man humbucker, but this one has a beefier tone and richness to it that I absolutely love. This is the end of my search for pickups, it probably is yours too! Go check one out. Later.
