Cool looking covers. But what do they sound like
The Q2.0 J-bass pickups sound full-bodied, yet with an amazing treble response. Killer dynamics due to the neodymium magnets. Nothing compares.
It would be nice to see the frequency range measured. For a passive coil that range mentioned is really tough to achieve at least within -3…+3 dB, maybe even within -9…+9 dB area.
Have to say, that those wooden covers look good.
