Great series of demo videos! But I think it would be better to compare pickups with a dry sound. Those amp sims impart their flavour and not all the pickups respond the same way, I think many nuances are getting lost
Thanks for checking out the video, Maria. We considered doing a dry sound without the amp simulation. It just sounded TOO dry, not a tone most players are used to. Thanks for offering your thoughts though, we appreciate that.
They sound like Jazz Bass pickups. If they are suppose to sound different (or better) you should do a side by side comparison with stock pickups. I've been playing and making records with Jazz basses for over 40 years but I am open to hear a difference but this sounds like all my basses that have stock pickups. Show me a difference.
Thanks for checking out the video Les. Point taken - will remember your comment when we start working on some videos to show differences between groups of 'like' pickups (vintage, modern, etc..). One issue with stock pickups is the extreme variance...so it becomes a comparison that is fairly narrow. But, nonetheless, it may be very interesting to hear side by side as you suggest.
Man fralins have a particular sound. Very 60’s. I don’t know how to feel about these. Not good, not bad. They just are. Great playing as always.
Hi James - They really do have a particular sound, and have quite a loyal following.

Those have a thick tone, nice.
Yep - The overwind increases the mids nicely for a thick, punchy tone.

Clear and perky! That's how I describe them, I've made a mental note of them.
Thanks for checking out the video - clear and perky, nice description :)
They sound rich and full. Very nice. Is that 60s spacing?
Thanks for checking out the video Martin. I agree, rich and full tone with that extra bit of mid range from the overwind. 60s spacing.
Now I don't know wtf ro buy lol😊
Ha! Just jump in and get something that sounds good!
@FatBassTone damn it they all sound good! 😆
