Finally got the Satch Track installed...
I have a Transition in the bridge, and the guitar is a basswood H-S Ibanez. I previously had a Chopper in the neck and while I like it Im always looking for more brightness and cut from the neck pickup so I wanted to try something different, and the ST is a tiny tad brighter but its not night and day. (Just for reference I find the Air Norton S for example to be unuseable; way WAAY too dark for me...I could barely hear the notes on the top strings when I was using it, they were so dark).
My initial impression is that the ST and Chopper are darn close. It pretty much feels the same to play as the Chopper, gain- and compression-wise, maybe the ST has a tad cleaner bottom end. Ill post a longer review when Ive spent some serious time with it.
However...
It pairs beautifully with the Transition Bridge!
I have it on a 5-way switch which gives me:
1) bridge
2) bridge in parallel
3) inner coils of both pickups
4) neck in parallel
5) neck
All positions are extremely well balanced and useful. It was a crap shoot but it worked out much better than I ever would have thought. If you need a guitar thats versatile and can handle everything from screaming rock/metal to light pop/funk stuff to SRV-style blues, twangy country licks and beyond, try it out.
Its definitely my new favorite H-S pickup combo.
