Origin on my worn brown, hot and sounded serious about it. Installed elsewhere (335 ibanez maple) is another story, slender and aggressive, medium very bad.
As I changed to have it split, the result is worth it because it's a nice option single coil sounds good through against the output level drops significantly, more than usual anyway.
I have now installed a sg linden (basswood) granted a lower tone, and this is a good configuration.
So it is suitable for micro naturally rich bass violin, if it is painful.
