Details:

The aged vintage tone (less aggression) of this set is great for crunchy blues solos or clean soft, delicate passages in jazz since the attack and trebles have slightly less prominence than my Traditional Mk-III or Woodstock sets. The Blues set has thicker tone so when overdriven gives creamy distortion without mud. Positions 2 and 4 sounds are acceptable in comparison to stock single coils. Under heavy attack this set break into crunch easily which makes it great for Blues. May not have edgy highs under full on distortion, like the Traditional Mk-III set has. This is not the most powerful set I make, in fact it has the same output as the Traditional Mk-III set, but it just seems to hit the spot with so many modern Blues players, making it one of my most popular products.

The Blues set has Kinman's propriety Alnico low strength magnets, like all our Fender type pickups, so string pull is minimized, sustain is longer and there is less rattle and buzz from the strings crashing into the frets from excessive magnet pull.

Optimium performance and extended versatility is achieved with my K9 NoSoldering Harness

Sound Files:

The best way to listen to these files is to right click on the *Sounds* button of your choice and *Save Target As* (IE) or *Save link as* (Mozilla) onto your hard drive so you can listen anytime un-interrupted without downloading again and again.

Listening to these performance: Starting with the neck pickup there may (or may not be) a pause between passages as he moves the selector switch to the next position, through all five positions until finishing at the bridge pickup. These files are like photos, a snapshot of the subject in one particular light caught in a moment of time. They do not reveal or portray the characteristics that might be displayed when played in other ways through a different amp with different strings on a different guitar by a different player. And it's not a good idea to try to compare one pickup to another from a different sound file because sometimes the setting were changed.

More sound files by customers can be heard on YouTube, search for Kinman. Do you have a YouTube clip? Send me the link and I will consider including it on this page.

	Blues set played clean n slow. 2 channel MP3 949Kb. Using my High Definition Tone Control. Slow, soulful, emotionally satisfying Blues are the domain of the Blues played clean. Expressive in a bluesy way with edge and crunch made effortless. The bridge SCn really cuts with it's smoky mids pushing out the blue notes. Fast response (tracking) means breaking into a frenzy of blurring notes never holds back or slows down the players fingers as they effortlessly follow his emotional direction, and these are not even my fastest tracking pickups. Also it's not difficult to see why Jazz players also like them.
	Blues set played edgy in a swinging SRV vein. 2 channel MP3 707Kb. The many players who ask how to get an SRV sound will not have to look any further than this sound file for the answer. Hear how the Blues set, with their aged sound characteristics, break into crunch and then into full on distortion with ease under varying pick attack forces. Effortless SRV with great Alnico TONE, that's what these are all about......and they are noiseless.
