Hi Flint,

I have owned and used the K&K Bass Max as well as the Revolution Solo II. Although to me there are similarities with the characteristic sound of bridge wing-mounted pickups in general, these two particular pickups are at close to opposite ends of the spectrum. The K&K Bass Max is one of the highest output pickups on the market, while the RS2 is medium output. The K&K has a very strong focused sound, almost like a bass guitar sound, while the RS2's sound is very open and more mic like. The Bass Max has rather high freedom from feedback, while the RS2 is just average here. The Bass Max's output is also of opposite polarity to most other pickups including the RS2. I always used a phase reverse with the K&K Bass Max, but not everyone is sensitive to this.

All in all, these are both good, usable pickups. Of the two, I personally prefer the RS2.
