Dick	Re: Bartolini pickups....maybe To be honest, I really cannot understand why anyone would want a high gain pickup. Years ago, before I could apprecite the subtelty of good tone, I purchased one of thouse Dimazio dual blade high output things. I was listening to it the other day, and could not believe how down right awful it sounded. Its Ceramic, absolutely CANNOT clean up, even when turned down. And the tone is almost offensive. I am definately an Alnico man. Cheers, Dick
