These were in my Ristola 6 string for 5 months. I got them from Brian (Bestbassgear) to replace the original pickups. They have light marks from the strings over the top. The wire leads are original length.
These are fabulous pickups, some of my favorites. They are warm and open with that Bart low mid push. My bass is a little bright naturally so I switched to the standard Barts which are darker.
