+1 for a blind test. This may produce surprising results (like was seen with the UK vs. Chinese Celestion V30s test). Set the amp up to make each pickup in turn sound its best and then see what people think. This forum seems to have a bias/preference for passive pickups. Let's see if that holds true in a blind test.
As already noted by several others, those zebra pickups are the aesthetically perfect match for that axe.
Thanks again Mark for all the work you put into your enjoyably informative videos. You're a real asset to this forum!
