I just recorded a demo of my 57/08 pups vs 59/09s in the neck-mid position (clean) to listen out for the quack and which sounds better.

The first part wasn't really amplified enough so you hear more of the guitar than the pick-ups through the amp.
Last two sections I turn the amp up.
To me, the 59/09s (covered) sound somewhat muffled (almost like the tone is turned down) - I think they have quack but not as much as the 57/08. I've decided I like that they're hotter output but I don't like the muffled sound.
--> Maybe I could get somebody to take the covers off an "unpot" them?
57/08 has a tighter & punchier low-end and perhaps more treble/mids. There is something just very satisfying about them. Have more quack and just enough nasal sound. Better definition, longer sustain, sounds like they have a natural reverb.
If you have a listen, please let me know what you think!
