Thanks very much; yeah they have a big variety, which is what is causing the dilemma. The JMVC 4 FE/M2, according to their website 'painstaikingly recreated that timeless voice to the very detail' of the B 00 series Stingray. But i wanted some description of the other types, so yours was very helpful, just wish i knew which model the pickup was . Thats a mighty fine looking bass you've got yourself there! Hopefully some other people round here will have had some experience of the others.

I had actually, but i read that you can lose some of the power you would get from a standard MM and that kinda put me off as i have other basses with J's in the bridge i was looking for something a bit different and id like it to still be MM in passive mode to. Thats why i hadnt pursued it any further. Thanks for the input though, i do fancy trying one of those Hybrids out in a future project simply because they seem really interesting .

Hey everyone, im new to the forum. I'm just looking for some opinions on various Delano pickups as i'm trying to decide which ones i want. Ive got a Walnut Jazz on order with a J (neck) and MM (bridge) routings, and i've also got myself a Glockenklang 4 band preamp for this project. After considerable research im pretty sure i want to get some Delano's as ive heard such great things about them and that they pair really well with Glockenklangs. Which brings me to my final dilemma; which particular Delano's do i want!? For the MM there is considerable choice: Firstly either Alnico or Ceramic. But then either the MC 4 AL or the MC 4 AL/V4 OR the MC 4 FE or the MC 4 FE/J M2. For the Jazz its between the splitcoil humbuckers. The JC 4 AL/M2 or the JMVC 4 FE/M2. Im leabing towards the JC 4 AL/M2 as i've heard that the JMVC 4 FE/M2. is bordering on no longer sounding like a J anymore, which is an option i would like to have available to me. As for the MM's i havent owned a bass with one before and so my knowledge is fairly limited other than knowing i want one! (due to playing various basses over the years). It'd just be cool to hear people's opinions and preferences on these pickups so i can get a better feel for what they're like. Most reviews i've been able to find have been focused on the JMVC 4 FE/M2. I'd like to know more about the MM's, the differences between them (besides the quite vague descriptions on Delano's site). And also which combination would work best together and compliment each other. My main band is an Alternative Hard Rock band, but i play a wide range of music as well for other projects. Versatility is a huge plus. All opinions and input would be much appreciated. Cheers
