I think Cort (the cheap ones) was using this brand in a few of there older basses. If I remember correctly they didn't really offer a whole lot of anything. Really muted and just very disappointing. If your on a budget I'm sure you can get a whole lot more if you save a little while longer. Again its been years..but I do remember putting the bass back saying..Yuck

I have them on my Washburn XB-120.They are cheap pick-ups for budget basses,there's not much to say about them.

Tonally,they don't have a tone.
Versatility is out of the question.

But I just love that bass and made it fretless this week,I'll see how it sounds when I put the strings on.

well i have a MM-type on a gb75 ,and is pretty decent ,
the single is a bit "empty" instead ,but mixed with the MM it does his job.

So, Overall from other reviews i would say the MM is the more decent sounding,other kind are Not worth checking
