PRS 57/08 Bass Pickup

Great balance between bass and highs. Not muddy but with a thick PAF tone. Super crisp and respond to your touch perfectly. Can handle a lot of gain but not a metal pickup. Coil split is ok (Coil split will never sound like a single coil in any pickup but this one has a useful sound). I have tried them only on PRS guitar.

For me PRS 57/08 pickups are the best ever. I had and still have a lot of pickups from several famous brands. However when I first tried 57/08 I was pleasantly surprised. So much articulation but also gainy, throaty and full with a lot of harmonics. Pickups with soul. Although they are alnico 2 pickups they are not very low output. They are in a such sweet spot that you can use both for blues and metal in success. Bass pickup (neck) is sounding a bit more rounder and cello like (tubular) compared to treble (bridge) pickup. Still pwerfull though .The best neck pickup for me.
