Slanted Pickups

[PDGood]

When I saw the title of this thread I thought it would be a debate about which direction they are slanted. I'm sure there are two schools of thought. I prefer the pickups with the bottom (G side) slanted towards the neck. This helps give fullness to the thinner strings and a more balanced overall EQ. But more often than not I see them slanted with the G string side more towards the bridge. Just a matter of preference, I guess.
Oh, well. Turns out we're just celebrating the slant. Cheers for both kinds.

True, this is why I said housings.

I would think they're still the same though whether the housing is a flattened off to match the tilted look or not. It's still a rectangular magnet underneath. Unless they're doing individual magnets per string, off set to match the curve. Now that would be different.

I see there are LG's here already, and truly lovely ones at that, but sure one more can't hurt!

Here's my Kenneth Lawrence ChamberBrase II 5

Someone once commented about Ken's basses:

"For that price, you think they could have got the pickups in straight!"

Slanted, but not a "J" casing:

Edit: ok, that was a not-so-subtle attempt to show off my new (to me) baby. Wut

I've seen an arbor 5-string bass that has slanted jazz pick-ups. well actually it has one slanted jazz pick-up on the neck position and one straight jazz pick-up on the bridge position. it's kinda interesting.
