Features
:
It's a standart sized passive Humbucker.
It has the highest DC ratio in Q-Tuner line ,about 15kohm.Comes with 2 high grade silver conductor wire.
Instrument
:
I use it in my Ibanez RG 1527 Prestige.
It's in the bridge position.
It replaced the Custom Shop Seymour Duncan PATB 7 wich replaced the BKP Miracle Man.
I don't use Neck PUs ,so there is just a dummy without a magnet in it.
I don't know if any artist allready tested this version.Q-Tuners are more popular in Bass world.
I changed it since i was looking for a new sound.More clarity ,definition and broader sound spectrum.
It delivers...It's a winner for shure!

The Output Level is really high.It's on-par with the BKP Miracle Man...Enough to Drive your amp.
I use Different amps with it and it's a damn Picky PU.It's too clear for many many players.The tightess PU ever.Even tighter than actives...
It doesn't like the Marshall JCM series somehow.It has too much bass for them.
It loves solid state stuff ,and is perfect for Recording with TonePort or similar.
I don't use any Noise surpressors anymore.They are obsolote with this PU.
You have to be carefull with Effects too ,since it's extreme clear...So Flanger and Phaser type effects need to be tweaked alot.

This baby is going to be in Every Guitar and Bass i own ,and will own.
That's atotally different approach to PU design .I tested a lot and I am really fair. This PU is the clearest ,most articulate sounding PU on earth.
The only problem with it is the PU height adjustment.There is a small line between Sustain and no Sustain.The PU sounds allways good ,but it's prone to "overactive" harmonics.So the 36 polepieces and the PU height adjustment screws are going to be busy for many players.
It's a Harmonic Monster. You are going to hear harmonics that you never heard before.
it's a winner for shure...
