I guess I just don’t get it. I bought one to try based on all the love and just couldn’t get it to sound good. Into the drawer of misfit pickups it went.
I’ve been using the Stew Mac version for decades. Works great. Have you checked the height of those 2 strings at the nut? If they’re higher, they’ll go sharp when fretted
No way to tell listening through an iPad or phone as they affect the sound. What I will say is when I’m in a room with miked cabinet thru a monitor vs an ox box, it’s clear as day.
Not knocking his amps. I’ve owned one for a decade. Point is when it comes to a players preference in gear, pickups, strings, pedals, etc it’s nice to put a playing style/tone with it.
