The Pickup Place / Re: Which Lace Sensor is closest to a Fast Track 1?

Thanks for that.
Lace Sensors also have nearly zero dynamic range which I would find intolerable if I'm being honest with myself. I really like the tone of the gold as well as the 6k hot golds, don't get me wrong.
Would a VV HB2 be a better choice?
Position 4 quack would then be a concern. Combining the HB2 and the A61 has consistently sounded pretty lackluster based on the few demos I've heard and this really doesn't (shouldn't?) come as a surprise.
Assuming the HB2 gets noticeably brighter without the dummy coil, would quack be improved combining it with an A67? (also split, if only to get hum cancellation since the A67 is RW/RP)
To account for the level difference a treble shelf will be applied to the HB2 before combining it with the middle pickup. I've used this method successfully on both an A61 and a VV54P when combining either with an A58, FWIW.
I'm -->||<-- close to pulling the trigger on a flangeless HB2. I just don't want to blindly and impulsively drop $100 for a solution that turns out being a disappointment. Running the Satch Track either split or in parallel just isn't cutting it.
