Pretty much nails the Quadrophenia era Who bass tone.
As an example of how close they sound to original T-bird pickups my wife (who does not play bass) and I were in the car and Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Tuesady Gone" came on the radio and she said "Hey, that sounds like your bass! Not scientific but a pretty good endorsement.....
I always say *THE* T-Bird sound is the Kids In The Hall theme "Having An Average Weekend" by Shadowy Men On A Shadowy Planet.
