The pickup design features individual pole piece adjustment for individual string balance. They can be raised collectively higher or lower in regards to neck or bridge position as well. The point being is that overall balance might take a little time depending on the bass, the amp, the room, the player etc. It's worth the effort. IMO

Excellent intro to Dark Stars pickups. Both basses look and sound TREMENDOUS! I especially like the tone of the fretless...but they both have a great tone and nice variation. It must be killer to have two , one fretted and one fretless...the possibilities are endless.Keep the video's coming guys, you are both showing us amazing gear that is quite rare to come by. Good job!

Nice, always drooled over that old Fender you had. I remember watching that Henry Rollins clip over and over just looking at that bass!

Compared to the regular JB pick-ups how do these Dark Star pick ups sound? In the video they sound great, but it's always hard to do a direct comparisson based in what we listen there. Keep it up feeding our GAS!

You shouo lower the pickup(s) on the fretted bass a bit, to avoid the clancky pops you are getting there.
