soapbars

Hello people, I have decided to give my old bass an upgrade by changing pickups. It's a Cort A5 all maple neck through 5 string with Bartolini MK1 soapbars. These pickups are not actually constructed by Bartolini, just licensed by them and mass constructed in the far east, so perhaps they are...

Alright, I'm GASing like a house on fire for a Thumb BO 5. I heard Stroud's with the Jazz pickups. The bridge positioning sounds amazing But... soapbars? In contrast to jazz pickups, how would you describe the sound? I'm looking for harsh, bright growlyness. Any help greatly appreciated :)

Hey chaps, just wanted to have some feedback on these pickups... What do you like or dislike with them, how they enhance (or not) the "sound of wood", their output level, etc... I want to know it all ! Thx !
