Hi 600 Ohms. Did you do this for a Lakeland DJ-5? I’m interested in possibly swapping out mine…..not that there anything wrong with ‘em. Just looking for something (as you say) more Fender-y.

White.

So full disclosure. Last year I had the FC installed. After I got the bass back, plugged it in, verified that the puck up worked and carefully colored the wire. I hadn't have opportunity to need to play my bass thru an amp for a few months thereafter. At that point, the pickup no longer worked...

Yeah....I was VERY careful. Barely pressing the marker onto it. I validated that it worked prior do coloring it.

Crazy Question: Any reason why coloring the white wire with black magic marker would kill functionality? -PM

I'm interested in trying these. Going to force myself to hold off till fall/end of year if I can make it.

The hair/ribbon appears noticeably wide/wider. Peaked my interest. Best, -PM

@AndersLasson I can't say that I have noticed at this point. Though was just thinking about that I may want to be cognizant of just the other day. I've had them on now for about sis months. I'll def be mindful to see if I notice anything in the months ahead. -PM

Not sure. I never felt the hair grab the cake, like one would when rosining up with (applying) say Pops. I tried to see if warming up the hair on the string would help...but nada.

I was sent a tin of this to try (free of charge) from Brianna Goldberg. Incredibly nice of her. I generally use Pops and/or Kolstein and am currently using a mix of the two I melted/mixed myself with really great results. Anywho, I assume my mileage varied significantly. Coming from using softer...

Sorry. Meant to mark this sold.

Just it back from Mike Shank. It got the spa treatment while I was out of town. Sounding and playing great!
