Rob is right, the EB Bass pickups aren't MM clones. Some of you may remember that I had Uwe's EB Bass for several months before shipping to him, and it definitely didn't sound anything like either of my MMs. Jim has a point, though. They do look enough like MM pickups that unless you're up close, you wouldn't know otherwise.
My problem with the EB Bass is that the traditional Gibson headstock looks way out of place with that asymmetrical body. The new V-Bass looks much better to me.
