Someone way more qualified than me will step in, but I have spent a fair amount of time with the Embassy Pro (supposedly the same #760 pickups as the VP Bird) and I have two Gibson’s from the 2,000’s (supposedly the same pickups as the Epi Classic Pro). The Gibson pickups are more muscular and dark (not in a bad way) and the #760’s are a little more open and snappy. That’s about the best I can do and some might even disagree with that little contribution
I have a Gibson 2013 TBird and the new Eppi TBird VP - I'd pretty much echo what others have said about the VP pickups.
I find that they are fairly open and very clear with an aggressive sharp attack and very focused mids that behave like a buzz saw when cutting through a mix. My VP will not lay back in the background and play a subdued bassline (even with the tone completely rolled off). With the tone knob at 50% or higher it just wants to jump out front and be heard.
The pickups are hot and perfectly willing to broadcast every right and left hand nuance you might have (faults included). When you nail a song with this bass it's breathtaking, but if you hit a wrong note or dig in too much or not enough everyone is going to hear it. In that regard it's a lot like my Spector and Alembic basses - a perfectionists bass vs my 2013 TBird which is much more forgiving but is also less rewarding when you play perfect.
Disclaimer - on the VP I'm still running the stock strings (which might be stainless) and do have my pups closer to the strings than my 2013 bird which also has nickel Chromes on it. I'm leaning towards putting Roto Flats or possibly Cobalt flats on the VP to tame it a bit, not because the bass sounds bad, but because I'm not as good a player as this bass deserves.
