I did not think that level of clarity could come from passive pick ups. The pops and percussive elements still cut through without sounding thin or brittle. I hope my Bsrmw can do that! I'll find out Monday.
Looks like an earlier model BT6 (NT). As far as clarity from passive P/U's? Sure, there could be that level of clarity and/or more. Most of what you are hearing is due to the players ability and the mix he has. One of the bigger differences between NT and BO necks is feel. When you get your MW, just make sure it's set-up well and with fresh strings. If your MW is in perfect working order, I'd bet you won't be disappointed with what you get out of it.

As far as it sounding like that in the clip? Well, that's up to you.
