    Thanks Otis..... I ordered a GFS MM pro plus yesterday for my SUB Ray4 and it's good to hear you think they're so good.

    Hi, Any update. I have a SubRay4. I like the existing pickup but am always open to improvements.

    Yep - I really like it. I've added a 3-way series/split/resister-split switch and that makes it really versatile.

    It makes me wonder about impartiality of the review when there is a drum backing track during the GFS pickup and not during the original. It reminds me of those before/after pics where people are smiling, have make up, and are dressed nicer in the "after" picture.

    I knew this going in...

    In every case, I prefer the sound of the ceramic pup (going by the labels in the video). This is so strange, I've been wanting to hear the Seymour Duncan Basslines MM ceramic pup for an upcoming MM-Style bass I"m having built. This test, perhaps unintentionally, has sold me on them.

    Don't get me wrong, the GuitarFetish pups sound really good. But I have a serious bent for the ceramic-pup sound combined with the 3-band preamp, as what was in the 1998 MM SR5 I used to have.
