Any good alternatives for bartolini mk1?

I dont feel that john myungs tone is that amazing that you need to change your pickups to copy it. Those pickups, while not sounding like real barts, still have a decent sound. The preamp is a bit hissy when you move the treble up at all, but those basses are pretty decent if you just cut the mids and boost the lows a tad. save your money and get a different amp. if you dont dig the sound.
