I know there are a lot of motor city pickups users on this forum myself included. However I haven't been able to find any clips or much info anywhere on the net about the Motor City Single Coils. I'm really interested in the funk alnico 2's and the motor alnico 5's. I'm leaning towards the funk alnico 2's but would like some advice first just to be sure. Not looking to do metal but want a nice versatile pickup that is clean, sweet, warm, and smooth but can handle a nice bit of gain. Thanks!
 
The Funk's are very sweet and love gain. The Woodwards are also great but have more sting.
 
Not much info on the motor city single coil pickups so I took the plunge and ordered a set of funk alnico 2's not knowing what to expect. Well the particular strat these went in is very picky and I've tried 6 other sets of pickups that never sounded quite right to me, which I am more of a humbucker guy. But these are amazing very clear and very sweet. ;) No ice pick highs like I got on so many of the other single coil pups I've tried. Also they handle gain much better than all the others. Simply put the funks are my favorite single coils I've tried! :rock:
