Thank you for this great comparison. All of this pickups are slightly different. Hard to choose, but maybe I would go to the alnico or the fender and maybe the neo one.
I feel like moving from Fender to B-Art AlNiCo to B-Art Neo to B-Art Ceramic, the sound gets less characterful and more modern/Hi-Fi. And all three B-Art pickups are closer together in sound, the stock Fender pickups stand out the most. I would have thought that magnet material made a much bigger difference. But maybe other aspects, like how hot the pickups are wound, and with which type of wire, or whatever else is different in construction, has a bigger impact on sound.
Thanks for your comment. There are some specs in the text below the video. However, there is a lot of other specs I do not know, but I can ask the guy who produce B-Art pickups. He is a tech genius!
Honestly, as a lifelong bass player, I never understood tone chasing via pickups, especially on a bass. Any of these options can sound like the other with EQ, they all sound great, and any distinctions typically disappear in a live or recorded mix anyway.
Yeah, all of them slightly different, but cool in the same way. For the tunes I heard I'd go with originals, B alnico, and B Ceramic... maybe with more metal or "modern" tones those B neodymium... I don't know. All sound great! Regards from Brazil!
I'm liking the B-Art Alnicos on this one (finger style).

Thanks for watching 👍
Great work, great playing!
Thanks :)
Great job!!
I prefer the neodynium and ceramic sound, they are fuller and deeper, and it’s not a surprise for me…the same thing on a Stingray bass
Thanks, I agree :)
Another great video! Those B-Art alnico pickups sound wonderful, they'd be my choice 👍
Thanks 👍

Maybe I'm a bit of a conservative guy but I think the Fender Original sounds just awsome.😊
I thought so as well. I think they are my preference out of all of these options.

alnico seemed "soft" ceramic better, neo - perhaps clearest but not better in "tone" than ceramic - so is it a matter of gauss ?
