What would you do with...

[Highlander]

Save it for a rainy day and watch the alignment, as Dave noted...

[Pilgrim]

A Tele Bass HB in a Squier Bronco? That might stun a few sound guys!

That's enough reason to give it a try by itself. Bet it would sound pretty good. The Gretsch 2202 pickup in my Brono sounds pretty darn fine.

I don't have a suggestion as to what to put it in, just remember that the polepieces are spaced for placement way up by the neck. If you were to put it at the bridge position you might run into problems, I don't know how those CuNi Fe magnets would handle misalignment.

A local session player had a similar vintage Tele MkII pickup installed in the bridge position of a heavily modified 70's P bass, and it sounded awesome when solo'ed. Like a really fat J bridge pickup.

I finally got the WRHB mounted in my pickup testbed. I had it wired directly to an output jack, so I got to hear it in a fairly raw state. I like what it does, to some degree. It has a fat mids-heavy tone and a surprising clarity. If anything it lacks bass and treble response slightly. Imagine a jam donut that is 80% jam. 

What I didn't anticipate was the noise of the thing. For a humbucker it seems fairly buzzy, which makes me wonder if mine is ok or if I was only hearing one coil.

[Dave W]

No surprise there. As I said earlier, very heavy in the midrange.

My Tele Bass and the one a friend had during the same years were both a bit noisy for humbuckers. Not sure it was the pickup, since the super high output was always overdriving the preamp.

[Highlander]

Mud, mud, glorious mud... er... oops...

[Alanko]

Not really that muddy.  It was like a dark, chocolaty P bass pickup. Heavy on the mids, but not the pillowy tone of a sidewinder.

[Dave W]

Fatdawg of Subway Guitars describes it as fart-in-the-bathtub tone.
