Wow, so sort of like a HFS/VB set then. Although I think the Vintage Bass is around 8K.

I had my SE Custom 22 apart for upgrades, so I measured the Tone Furnace pickups.....
Bridge: 14.95k
Neck: 7.16k

Subjective answer to follow:
Certainly reminds me of the Jazz/JB combo that you mention. I'd say lots of mids and highs, more like a JB. I hear a distinct treble push when I go from neck to bridge, but its girthy too... A useful combination of pickups for sure. The ability to drive the amp differently by simply switching pickups is a good trait in a guitar with only one tone / one volume.
Yes..it's not bad to have the ability of drive an amp differently with the two pick ups..you say lots of mids and high..but it's not thin..right?Is there a balance in the bass between neck and bridge?
Is the neck similar in sound to a les paul type guitar with a paf type pick up?
P.s. i'm italian..what does it means "girthy"?
Tnx a lot!
I have a set of Tone Furnace pickups gifted to me by Full Moon that I'll be putting in a SE Singlecut today.I would like to hear a bit more spec on them, the "Tone Furnace" name doesn't do much for me. A set of the SE245 pickups would've been fine by me, although I think I'll be swapping them regardless when I get the guitar. Probably for something covered, and one of those new Mann fully adjustable stoptails as well.
I’d forgotten about these. Did they die with the Marty Friedman model?I have a set of Tone Furnace pickups gifted to me by Full Moon that I'll be putting in a SE Singlecut today.
I'll give a tone report if anyone is still interested in hearing about the Tone Furnace pickups.
6.9K neck and 14.2K bridge.
Looks like an extra thick magnet in the bridge.
Maybe ceramic?
I dunno. Fullmoon 1971 gave them to me to try.I’d forgotten about these. Did they die with the Marty Friedman model?
The neck Is a great paf pick-up...One of the best i've ever played..perfect blend of tre le middle and bass..with a hint of single coil...exactly like 50 and 60's pick-up and sounds very 335 neck alike...the bridge for me Is too hot and muffled on High strings...great for dirty sounds not for clean...replaced with a Duncan custom 5 sh14 ...Better but still not open enough for me...on a se custom from 2017..maple neck...wraparound bridgeI dunno. Fullmoon 1971 gave them to me to try.
Maybe he will see this and comment. He's in the UK tho. Probably in bed!
They were also used in the 2016 SE Custom 22I dunno. Fullmoon 1971 gave them to me to try.

Should I pop an alnico 8 in there? I have one. I didn't care for the sound last time I tried it in anything.They were also used in the 2016 SE Custom 22

I agree with the comments about the pickups, the neck is a fantastic "PAF" style pickup but the bridge is just too hot, it features a really thick ceramic magnet - may a Alnico 8 would better suit it?
I would try the 8, it will give you the power of a ceramic with the sweetness of a alnico. think of it like a superpowered A5Should I pop an alnico 8 in there? I have one. I didn't care for the sound last time I tried it in anything.
I also have some roughcast and polished a2, a4 and a5.
