Just a very quick shout out to the fine work of Tom Brantley. As many of you Geddy fans know, Tom winds and/or rewinds Geddy's Jazz bass pickups.
After living with Dimarzio Area J's on my Geddy for the past year I found myself wanting something different. More articulation and bottom end, less overtone. The appeal of noise-cancelling J pickups was lost on me since I play with both volumes full anyway.
Long story short - I put in a new pair of Tom Brantley Geddy Lee spec today and was very pleased with the difference. Nice low end, but a more articulate E and A string than before. Also more depth in the D and G strings.
I don't play or sound like Geddy, and that wasn't the goal. I just wanted to be able to hear and feel the notes at the same time - not one or the other.
Very happy to recommend Tom's work to anyone considering a custom pickup. Price was very much in line with market price for name brand Jazz pickups.
