Whats the sound difference/comparison between Ibanez IBZ EXF4 pu's (SR400QM), and the Bart MK1 pu's (SR530)? I like the sound I get from my SR400QM (deep lows - crisp highs - scooped mids), but have been thinking about the SR530 with Barts. What can I expect different? Thanks Guys

I'm interested in this as well. I just got a Soundgear with the EXF4's and they sound decent (the Ibanez pre is horrible). How much difference is there between the Ibanez EXF4 pickups and the Bartolini Mk-1's or the higher end MK4CBC's. If the MK4CBC's are much better I will likely swap out for them (unless someone can recommend a better pickup in this shape). I don't have enough experience with Barts to differentiate.
