The "SX effect" we discovered in testing has been bugging me. That is,
everything sound beautiful under a certain threshold. . . then, dig in a
little too hard, and the bass distorts. All 3 instruments exhibit this
trait. It was particularly evident when tracking the slap lines on
Fantastic Voyage. You really had to feather the bass and tread lightly.
So far, this is the only critical deficiency I've found on the batch. I
am thinking about standardizing on Nordstrand NJ4 and NP4 pickups for
the rest of the builds.
I've ordered 2 sets to test. Still on the prowl for something more
affordable, but I figure I can keep the leads long, the pups will not
lose much value just by themselves since they are a well-known item.
