Hi,
I will join thread to not create similar one.
I am about to buy new DB (hybrid Strunal) and I am wondering which pickup to choose. As I see in thread RSII is overall more often suggested than Bass Max.
But I live in Poland and RSII can ce bought only in USA. When I calculate shipping costs, for me, RSII from Upton is almost twice as cost of Bass Max from Thomann.
Do you think difference in sound quality is so significant, that it's worth extra money?
I plan to plug it directly into GK MB150S combo.

Don't buy something at 2x the price. Get what is cheaper. You can fix the sound with the amp eq.
