I am curious, but at these prices? I have great hopes in the next five years of buying one of the SG bass pups and one of these MEC things off ebay to see what the deal is. But that is hoping for the $100-used ballpark to show up. I suspect it is a conventional single coil like a 68 Tele Bass under there. I doubt very much that it would sound like the 50s mudbucker, which does not sound that far off a regular mudbucker. Godspeed to whoever is ready to take the pricey dive, but it is just a waiting game for me. I finally got an EB4 pup to mess with in the meanwhile.
