Good and bad
Got this fitted in the neck position of my Yamaha Pacifica 604 (SSL-5 in the middle, & a JB full sized HB in the bridge)
Lovely mellow 'S' type tone (think Mark Knopfler just with the treble/top end rolled off slightly - note: pickup is designed to have soft treble)
Only problem is the bass is very weak, and I've altered setup/pickup height but can't seem to solve this prob.
Bear in mind this is fitted to a Yamaha with narrower string spacing than a Strat, i.e. 48mm on the Yam, from E to E string at the neck, and the pole pieces on Alnico II Pro are 52mm so the E strings sit over the inside edge of their respective pole pieces. Therefore a Strat, which is what it's designed for may cure this prob.
Either way I still really like the basic tone of the pup so I'll prob. just move this into the middle & get an SSL-1 or something similar for the neck & see if that helps.
