Dirty Fingers was super bright and weird but not in a good way. Alumitones are honestly sick, just too hi-fi? I guess? The gold foils may have just been a dud set, but they were really weak sounding. The Phat Cat I haven't been able to try yet. The quarter pounder is my absolute favorite bridge pickup. In this guitar it's bright and handles gain incredibly well. It sounds almost like a P-90? I also have one in the bridge of my other bass vi, and that one has a single sized alumitone in the neck and used to have one in the bridge. I like the alumitones in that a lot, but I want something different for this one. More aggressive I guess? I use the other one to practice at home and write ambient stuff so it's really useful in that guitar.
I was thinking the same thing about the filtertron thing. I was thinking a TV Jones Powertron or Magnatron neck for that? In gold to match the all black hardware and brass saddles/dark green paint.
