Well.............do you like the way your bass sounds? If you do, I would say that the pickups are good for you.

I'm not very familiar with the SB-4 set, but I really like the PJ set that came stock in my ESP LTD B-50. The P pickup is especially thick and full sounding. IMO, ESP has some decent quality house brand electronics. I assume that the SB-4's are no different. They probably compare favorably to other companies' house brand electronics, but likely can't compete with most aftermarket items.

I am not all that experienced, but I just spent 4 hours playing every bass I could get my hands this weekend at GC and other stores and the ESP I played (not sure of the model but it had a from-the-factory vintage look. around $1400. P/J setup. fender style body) had an incredible sound to it with esp pups in it. especially the p pup was punchy, warm and clear.

Just my experience, hope it helps..
