    2023 Current Opinion on HFS & Vintage Bass pickups?

    I have an S2 Custom 24 from 2013 that came with the import version of these pickups. I quite like them. It took me a bit to do so, until I started playing with pickup heights combined with the amp settings; changing the pickup heights helped with the mud of the VB and tamed the HFS a bit. I dig...
