i went to his main page, https://www.soundclick.com/bands/default ... tent=music and clicked on the hi-fi link (middle right of page, right next to lo-fi).
i think those soundclick pages are set to lofi default, which is what he linked to above.
i listened again, and, i just like the thickness of the 78...i feel that pickup would give me more to work with tonally and could get that brownbucker sound out of it by experimenting with different caps, honestly.
not to argue. just what me ears like, and how my thought process works!
both sound so fuckin good though, i think its just a matter of preference.

I think I talked about what I prefered about the Brownbucker above, but if I didn't.....
The '78 is a little thicker and I really like sounds more on the thicker side hence my name "Chubtone". However, what I got with the '78 was more of a dull, inarticulate, softer, mushy sort of tone in comparison to the Arcane. I really liked the '78 over most any other pickups until I tried the Arcane. Then what I felt was lacking in the '78 was all there with the Brownbucker. I think it can be a mistake to just listen for thicker and warmer because that can more easily disappear in a mix.
And I don't feel you can add that articulation to a pickup if it isn't there. I could certainly add more low end or warmth to the Arcane if I wanted to though. Listen where I palm mute while playing on the '78 and it is nearly indecipherable mush and with the Arcane there is this percussive click to the note. I FREAKING LOVE that little click as part of the tone. I find that my favorite players that palm mute a lot tend to have that. And I have tried a Duncan '78 with an Alnico V magnet before and didn't like what that did to the sound. The Arcane with the a5 is perfect to my ears.
