The Bisonic/DS have as very specific construction with the dual pole pieces (e.g. those weird butress arms) and huge flat magnet that I do not see at all on the Novak EB-DS, so I would expect it to not really sound similar... except that Novak is very aware of this and actually makes proper Bisonic copies (seems a bit deep to me, as in, wouldn't fit all the basses people put dark stars in but hey, it looks the part):
vs Darkstar (which, from what I recall, I could never tell apart from an actual Bisonic):
In fact there have been a few iterations of his EB-DS so possibly some sound better/closer than others, like this early one I doubt is anything similar (also maybe just single coil):
But now thjey have 2 extra rows of (dummy?) poles:
