"the mojo hobo" - So you have a Bart in the Heather Poly NR-Bird and A SD in the Bachbird. Which one do you like better? Does one sound more like the original 60's pickup than the other or are neither of them similar to the 60's pickups but good in their own way? Does one have more mids or low end, etc? I think I am going to go with one of these two pickups so now I need to narrow it down and I would love to get a review from someone who actually owns both. I'm sure everyone else would also like to hear from someone that owns both. Thanks
I really like the SD in the Bach. I did like the Bart also, but it has been at least 3 years since I've heard it, and about 30 years since I played an original '60s pickup. There are others here who could better address that.
The SD has a very nice low end. I like good clean bottom and it delivers. I don't remember the Bart being too much different.
Of course your fingers, ears and perception will all be different than mine, both are good pickups but don't expect either to sound like a '60s pickup.
