Does it affect the sound in a specific way ? Thanks for your comments.

As it's an Alembic product, I would assume that they will still sound far more neutral than any regular P replacement pickups. But as it is a "double" pickup, and also the physical size of the magnet and the windings is different, to a degree it will sound different from the soapbars. IIRC, it is louder than the J-shaped pickup that they offer. serialnumber12 Advanced Member Username: serialnumber12 Post Number: 218 Registered: 12-2004 Posted on Friday, May 13, 2005 - 3:47 am:    And also it depends on the positioning of their location neck or bridge ect...
