I bought some active single coils on ebay and they are real dogs. They buzz like crazy. I am gonna rip them out as soon as I can find some SA's at a decent price. Hope the Rondo version is better than those.

Thanks for letting me know that.

I'd seen them and thought they might be cool.

 

I did alot of testing(placement of coils, type of poles, color, factory of origin) and determined the no-names that were in the Nick Catanese prototype imports are the same.

I LOVED them.

 

big fat deep tone.

 

The neck pikcup might be too warm for many metalists, though.

It gets a great jazz tone clean, though.

 

Absolutely UNCOMPRESSED.

I like the smoothness of EMG's, but I have the same problem that you have with them: not enough dynamics. Ever since I switched to a hot set of Tom Andersons, I have the smoothness that I like, plus the available attack and tons of dynamics that I've been wanting as well.
