Yin Yang kindof pickup. Very clean and revealing. Clearly shows my sloppy attack and release, ringing of unmuted strings, general poor form, and lack of understanding of Filtertron pickups.
Very sensitive to pic stroke location, angle, string type; with a lot of bass from a bridge pickup.
Highlights the bennies of removable pickups. Lots to try out in life.
