On a side note, about the Barcus Berry, I didn't have the chance to see John Campbell on stage, but I saw Chris Withley twice. I agree that the first time, around 1997, the sound was overly saturated and harsh; probably because it was first sent to a tube DI boosting the signal, then in a tube amp with the gain set fairly high. The second time, around 2003, the sound was much cleaner and pleasing. These pickups are reputedly inconsistent, and the ones I have are all on the low output side, so they stay clean on the Fender Champ at about any volume setting. They need a bit of EQ so I use a Boss GE-7 to tame some frequencies, and they have a "pickup sound" (as opposed to a mic or a Higlander), but not a bad one in my opinion.

I have an MM pickup on my MM Blues 36 with pb strings and only amplify it through an AER Domino 2a or a Roland Street Cube EX. It sounds wonderful through both, particularly the AER, which doesn’t suffer fools gladly. The pickup is very clean and natural sounding. Chris ‘I love slide me’
