Brain Bromberg RAD Alnico pickups

Interesting. Did you have them in an Icon bass? It's possible that they sound different with the Icon pre-amp. I tried them in an all-passive project bass and didn't hear much high end at all, when compared with a number of other pickups. That may be reason. There was a lot of thick midrange (as I'd expect from a humbucker) however.

Yes, in an Icon with stock preamp.
