D. Allen Voodoo Blues Strat Pickups

Never say never.

Lesson learned. I said ‘never’ after playing Klein’s Jazzy Cats. Great pickups, and under wound.

Yet, when compared to a friend’s strat loaded with Klein Epic ’59′s…yikes.
Mine had some great bite in the upper register, but the mids were truly gone, and the bass was lacking.

Sometimes, comparison is revealing of what is missing.

These are unbelievably sweet pickups. The bottom has returned, the mids quack, the highs shimmer.

The roar has been restored. The D. Allen’s stay, and the Klein Jazzy Cats must be sold.

Hello,
I do not excacly understand the above,
Are your favourite pickups the Klein or the D.AllenVoodoo’s?

I want to change pickups in my Fender Standard. I also heard van Zandt’s are great,
