It's been quite a while I was looking for a neck pickup "perfect". The PRS vintage bass came close (but also vintage trs trs prcis, sounds excellent in Clais and saturation), but it does not assemble well with other mics and non pRS the blues a little dirty, it's too clean. The Seymour SH2 Jazz is too clean, even worse, unable to crunch the symour 59 is not bad but not enough and Dfine prcis for me. The classic 57 is splendid:
warm, round, soft (alnico 2), flexible, fluid prcis trs, it has a dynamic standard. One has the impression that the lights in the guitar amp. He has that little extra in mediums that makes ds a lightweight tent that double stop or we attack a little harder, it crunch like no other microphone does. The grain is finer than a 59 Seymour, the sound seems alive. I put on a splendid copy of Les Paul Standard 80's Japanese (Burny) just waiting for a. It sounds beautiful in trs clear because there is a prsence, an indescribable harmony in crunch is the most beautiful sound to me to hear and t given in OD or saturated, has taken well to the guts!
This much, the guitar team and gives a clear trs hot but in the end because that can tire unclear. The magnet pickups give Alnico2 less powerful so you have more wire and exploded takes a hit, even if a crunch provides madness.
Attention, it has a volume when even powerful enough to handle and does not agree with all the other vintage mics. To grant a 59bridge with which the sound is plutt not bad, it must be physically and low loader station, the screws are often short ... IDAL is to have two or try another alnico 2 in Seymour, the APH1 ... because the two classic 57's overpriced. That said, the costs, we understand why ...
