Pickup magnets position with strings?

[carlos840]

Hi all,
Just wondering if the position of the string between the magnets of the pickup (on a jazz bass in this case) makes a real difference in sound?
I noticed that on most of the Fender Jazz 2008 that i saw, if you want a string spacing of 19mm you have the E string over the inner magnet instead of between the 2.
I have the same thing on mine, tried with different positions and doesnt seem to change anything.
Do you guys have the same issue, and does it make a difference to your ears?
Cheers

Yes.

No difference. At region where the strings pass through the magnetic fields, the fields from the bipole setup blend together to form a more contiguous field so it makes perfect sense that there should be no difference.

Mongo2 beat me to it.

so that means its alright if my string is not between the magnets at all but almost over one of them then...

It should be fine.
