So beautiful that I start looking at my Bach Entwhistle T-bird, wondering how it would look with a Tele head, instead of the P-bass head...

Wait a sec, it doesn't sound muddy. Aren't those pickups wound to around 30k? How'd you get them to be so clear? Love the bass too btw.

Contrary to what James Bond says, a good Gibson should be stirred, not shaken.

Yes, supposedly they're 30k.
Artec makes some fine pickups.
Maybe the choice of wood and the bolt-on maple neck help a little too.
Ever since I used the Artec Mudbucker as a bridge pickup in the first bass I ever built, I know they work great.
