    new MECs with metal covers -- anyone compared them to old ones?

    it seems, like the 'MEC gold' J-style variety (used on Warwick Thumb and active Corvettes) are now available only with metal covers, not plastic as before. anyone tried the new ones yet? I expect the metal covers to cut treble a bit (because metal covers always do this), that's the case...

    Suggestions for passive pickups that sound like active MEC soapbars?

    I know that people have mixed feelings about MEC pickups as a whole, but I have a 6 string Warwick Corvette that I adore the sound of, and I’d like to make a 6 string fretless bass from scratch with a similar sound. I’d go for active MECs but I don’t think it’s possible to wire a series/parallel...
