Delano Pickups

Well I'm going to put them in my $600.00 bass, so if it sounds like a $1500 bass afterwards...WOOOHOOOO!!!! Sound and tone preferences are purely subjective. I happened to hear a Human Base NT5 and the slap tone was killer. I'm sold, and I'm going to add a Glock pre-amp as well.

I can confirm that Delano didn't downgraded sound of my two 3000$ basses toward lower cost basses.
My experience after I've installed them (one with John East pre and one with Delano pre), is quite a contrary, basses sound became more solid in all spectrum with no weak points.
I don't intend to replace my Bartolini, Lawrence or Sadowsky PUs, but Delano is definitely in the high-end league.

There is a big problem with Delano pickups. It masks the personality of the instrument.

Call me deaf
If Delanos mask personality of particular high-end instrument other great pickups totally kill it.
We don't discuss EMG by the way.
