Frequently Asked Questions
It's a very close approximation of the Music Man sound, but a genuine pickup often has slightly more nuance and a more refined feel, which comes at a higher cost.
The higher DC resistance might load down some active preamps, potentially reducing output; testing is recommended for optimal performance.
It's durable enough for regular playing, but be aware that the brushed finish can be prone to showing micro-scratches over time.
